Hi Matthias,

this is premature: if the protocol didn't work well in production 
environments, that would raise questions about the wisdom of mandating 
the protocol in the first place.

In any event, as Randy pointed out, it's generally not a good idea to 
use policy in one area to try to force specific technology choices in 
another.
