Default SpaceX reusable booster experiments


I was wondering, SpaceX is flying NASA cargo to the ISS on their Falcon 9,
but are at the same time experimenting with reusable booster stages. Since
these experiments add risk to the flight, how does NASA feel about all this?
Are they okay with the fact that SpaceX is essentially using modified, experimental
versions of their rocket to loft ISS cargo?
