1. A limited set of IETF folks have experience with it.  IMO, we need broader 
exposure of a tool before deciding on its use.  The session a week from today is 
intended to help that.

2. It is not clear whether it can or cannot satisfy the IETF's functional 
requirements, since we haven't said what they are yet.

3. We haven't compared it against other choices.  (I could be wrong, but my 
impression is that the donation is not unbounded in time and scale.  I thought 
it was for an evaluation period, but I might have misunderstood.)

4. "Free" isn't good enough if the use of the capability falls short.
