I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you strongly here. Given
the potential consequences of cleaning up after a failed experiment without
a plan worked out beforehand, this blithe approach is simply not acceptable.

In lots of cases, experiments are easy to terminate in an obvious way: for
example, in one typical case, a code point can simply be abandoned, or
(even better) a pollutable experimental code point returned to the
available pool after some time. If that were the case here, it would not be
difficult to enumerate a sequence of steps required to do so. It doesn't
appear that's the case, however, so all the more reason to make sure we
address this as part of the experiment setup.

A launch escape system of the necessary complexity should be a requirement
of any experimental deployment. In this case, that might circumscribe the
scope of the experiment itself.
