The important thing for me to note is that experimental work, like any
other work, should be tracked in Phabricator, prioritised by the relevant
product owner (Deb in this case), and have clear deliverables.
Quick minor process point here (which I know Dan knows, but just didn't
spell out in this case): Experimental work done during your "10% time" does
not need to be prioritized by any product owner. For that work, it might
make sense to track it in phab, but it might not, so use your judgment
there, or chat with your product owner about it.
Within the few months that Discovery has been officially supporting "10%
time" projects, they have already produced some really good work, and have
been turned into production features on multiple occasions.
Experimental work that isn't part of the 10% absolutely needs to be
phabbed, and then prioritized by the PO.
