I completely agree with your point here. As I wrote in a previous comment for a different post: I'm currently developing an "experimental" piece of software, i.e. I am not even sure some features I want to add are possible, meaning I had to rewrite it a couple of times (and won't be the last). Having strict versioning, pinning, and documenting everything before it reaches a semi-stable state would discourage me from developing it altogether.
