It should work, but you will have to click twice (or however many times necessary) on the desired package to cycle to the experimental version. There's no way to make such choices sticky, so every time you run setup you will have to: a) first select the 'keep' radio button to prevent 'exp' packages from being downgraded to 'curr', and then manually select each package to be installed/upgraded or b) leave the default selections and then manually override any desired 'exp' packages from 'curr' back to 'exp'. Setting the radio button to 'exp' is almost always a bad idea, unless you are feeling particularly adventuresome. For this reason it's a pain to use 'exp' packages regularly, which is probably a good thing since they're generally considered not stable. However, it's a significant limitation of setup that eventually should be fixed.
