Hi Nick, Randy, David, Sander, (all,) agreed, we will remove this part from the proposal. @David: there was prediction by Marco Schmidt from RIPE at the last meeting. It is linked in the proposal.

This part of the proposal is intended to foster the adoption of the technology. IXPs may offer it as beta or experimental while still doing the actual exchange of traffic via standard BGP over IPv4.
Hi Matthias, this is premature: if the protocol didn't work well in production environments, that would raise questions about the wisdom of mandating the protocol in the first place. In any event, as Randy pointed out, it's generally not a good idea to use policy in one area to try to force specific technology choices in another. Nick
