Description
The slowbots feature (e.g. setting "TRY=") is extremely helpful for developers who want to get expanded test coverage for their CLs (particularly with the more obscure GOOS/GOARCH combos). This was a big help for the team when rewriting the linker this last year.
Another feature that would make developers lives easier would be to allow the setting of GOEXPERIMENT=... in a Gerrit reply or comment, and then have that setting picked up and used when doing the builder runs.
Two cases that come to mind immediately are field tracking, e.g. GOEXPERIMENT=fieldtrack, which seems to break on a semi-regular basis due to lack of regular testing, and GOEXPERIMENT=regabi. At the moment developers working on the register ABI project can do local testing by setting GOEXPERIMENT before running make.bash or all.bash, but there isn't an easy way for them to do testing over a wider set of builders.
