One measure that should seriously be considered is placing an explicit, coordinated sunset date in each implementation, after which the implementation MUST assume that the experiment has concluded unsuccessfully and L4S semantics are no longer permitted on the wire.  This sunset date can be extended if a longer experiment is deemed desirable, by deploying revised implementations to all appropriate nodes.

The advantage of this approach is that *if* the experiment is unsuccessful, there is no long tail of deployed implementations that might inadvertently interfere with future experiments using the same fields and codepoints.  Such new experiments can begin at least as soon as the last sunset date actually deployed.  Given the scarcity of available codepoints in the ECN field, and the poor performance of L4S in lab tests to date, I think this is a prudent precaution to take.
