I think one major problem with this is what happens if you've already  
pushed the branch somewhere.

On the other hand, perhaps you could have some kind of experimental  
bookmark mechanism that always excludes experimental bookmarks from  
being pushed. Once you've explicitly pushed it somewhere, the ability  
to strip it would go away.

I'm not sure how feasible that is, though.
