Hardly a ringing endorsement... And this requirement is quite new. It would be
unprecedented if it hadn't triggered some level of initial review in these very
early days. But wait a couple of years for the new to wear off and people being
people will start to handle it as more boilerplate.

Useful data won't be available for several years at least. Which is why it so
surprising - and ominous - that the problem has already arisen in at least one
document.
