That is the e4 project for.

The e4 project is a separate repository from other Platform repo. It can be nice for very new work that plans to be shipped separately, but in many cases, it makes it harder and less successful to move things back to Platform "Core". Using forked experimental repos from the core platform ones would be a more efficient way to encourage innovation with higher chances of having things back in Platform Core.

The other possible workflow would be to work only with Gerrit patches, but Gerrit fits better actual code proposals, not so well experiments.
