I'm talking about in terms of handling updates to the package, making it more cumbersome to handle and taking up the time/energy of reviewers, when a fast-moving experimental unfinished feature would be better maintained without that friction - allowing its developers to make any improvements they want with complete freedom.

You'll have to give instructions for how to enable it anyway, and in that case telling people how to enable a PPA is not much of an extra leap. I would think that the main PR value is "look at this cool feature that Ubuntu's engineers have done, and you can watch it getting better with each update", which you can get with a PPA.

Feel free to get a second opinion if you aren't inclined to accept this one.
