Related to the recent "what-did-Chrome-do-shipping-all-these-ugly-interest-invokers-they-must-be-evil-oh-wait-no-i-think-i-have-the-experimental-flag-set" flap:
Would it be a good idea if browsers showed a clear "Experiments Engaged" message in their toolbar or somewhere if the experimental flag is engaged?
I know from my QuirksMode testing days that this can be really really tricky to remember and a big, user-friendly visual might help.
