I really like the idea of it. Especially if the working hours are not very flexible - downtime is inevitable. Whether you are waiting for something, or it's just one of those days (or mornings or whatever). I always have some side/fun/educational projects active and it would be really cool to work on them on such time and, very likely, beneficial to the company because of new skills I'd pick up, etc. But that's in theory. Curious how do such things work out in practice :) I guess you need really strong technical leadership to pull this off, to convince non-technical execs that it's not time wasted, etc.
