Good idea!

Making an experimental theme that user can use with other themes
together is good idea that would not collide with anybody. Then NEWS
or other helpful information could ask users to test the key bindings
or other functions, and even users on Emacs stable could test it. The
experimental theme could be chosen from `customize-themes'. It could
also provide a reporting function so that users can send back their
impressions.

That way experiments go in parallel not disturbing the default key
bindings and users aware or willing to participate may do so.
