The ability to change protocols depends on exercising the extension
and version-negotiation mechanisms that support change. This
document explores how regular use of new protocol features can ensure
that it remains possible to deploy changes to a protocol. Examples
are given where lack of use caused changes to be more difficult or
costly.
