That's weaker than I'd like. Rather, the purpose of the effort should be described as amending the delegation signaling without deprecating any and therefore not degrading the experience of any client who never upgrades to the new signaling.

Multiple people have expressed concerns over ensuring backwards comparability.  I'm sure many believe this is a "of course" type requirement, but it would be good to be explicit.  So I added: 

It will include a concept of operations that describes how both current and future systems will interact in an Internet-wide interoperable way.
