as moving files as a CVS user results in loss of history information
and moving the *,v files on the server requires too much privileges
i'd agree to the 'marker file' solution

but we should not hide the file, lets call it EXPERIMENTAL or
even stronger like WARNING-EXPERIMENTAL with some human readable
information inside and lets have ext_skel create it by default

the information should be as obvious as possible and not hidden
