There has been feedback in favor of adding this and none against so far.

The specific proposal is:

"Please note that today's operational and policy reality prevents this 
experiment from being deployed globally.  If the experiment shows that PSD 
solves a real problem at a large scale, the results could prove to be useful 
in the development of policies outside of the IETF that would permit its 
ubiquitous deployment."

Because RFCs are (approximately) forever, I'm concerned about words like 
"today's" in protocol documents, even experimental ones.

How about this instead:

"As of the writing of this document operational and policy constraints prevent 
this experiment from being deployed globally.  If the experiment shows that 
PSD solves a real problem and can be used at a large scale, the results could 
prove to be useful in the development of policies outside of the IETF that 
would permit broader deployment".

Also, since this is about ephemera and not protocol, I think it should go in 
Appendix A.

Comments?
