For myself, I think the requirement for open-source is very good for
this experiment, or something like it.
People can examine the open-source implementation and consider the
question of whether the implementation explores enough of the edge cases
that a process short-cut is appropriate. I think that's important in
this, so I'd be a lot more comfortable with this with an open-source
requirement.
