Er, skv@ is actually in the process of doing just that.  Pav has run the
-exp build two days ago.  There was some fallout, and some things were fixed
already.  The following things are still failing the -exp build:

   [Fwd: cyrus-imapd-2.1.18_2 failed on amd64 8-exp]
   [Fwd: eperl-2.2.14_3 failed on amd64 8-exp]
   [Fwd: XBone-3.2_2 failed on amd64 8-exp]
   [Fwd: zim-0.28_2 failed on amd64 8-exp]
   [Fwd: wml-2.0.12,1 failed on amd64 8-exp]

I think Sergey will switch to 5.10.X as soon as these five are fixed.

Everybody who has tuits, please feel free to fix any of these.

Cheers,
\Anton.
