If it's not deemed useful for mainline I've packaged it as a contribution as well.
FWIW, if something *can* be expressed solely as a contrib, it generally *should* be. If it turns out to be a pattern used in many contrib extensions, then it could be a candidate for the base.
Yes, that's the process. New experiments go into the contrib code, if they're successful, they end up in the core.
I'd caveat that: if the experiments are successful, and would be more elegant in the core, they go in. I wouldn't call Tabbed unsuccessful, but se no reason for it ever to go into the core.
Yeah, if they just make sense as rather good extensions, we can keep them that way. GreedyView is one the things that made it into the core. -- Don
