And while rapid iteration and prototyping is fine for an "Indiana"
distribution, it's NOT fine for a reference distribution.

Reference distribution implies "ARC[1]" and "non controversial".

An ISV cannot build anything on unreviewed prototypes then ship only to 
find that the prototype is changed in an incompatible manner.
