This paragraph from the bylaws expresses very well:
"Several of these projects provide places for their committers to work
on innovative ideas (these are normally called sandboxes or
whiteboards). Unfortunately, such efforts are constrained by the
project bylaws, which can limit the degree of innovation that such
efforts can exhibit."
No project bylaws - more fun, or so they say.

I am not on the PMC and not even have a lab - so, we are two who have
an irrelevant opinion :-)
