But Mark, people's experience differ depending on the environment where
they deploy the protocol, so that means that the current status is too
white or too black and that possibly making it a little bit grayer would
make it more suitable for most environments. I don't see what's wrong
with considering feedbacks from real deployments, *even at this stage*.
Otherwise that means testers are useless and we should just work on
paper with a wet finger in the wind.
