What actual problem is this trying to solve?  I see the reference to a 
'reward', but wasn't aware that there is a perceived problem needing 
incentive to solve.

In additional, the incentive you are proposing seems to be getting to 
Proposed perhaps a month or so quicker?  It's difficult to see that as 
being sufficient incentive for creating implementations that would not 
otherwise we created.

The tradeoff is, of course, less time for final review.
