Not by a longshot. If we do, indeed, start with 6-10 as consensus seems to
indicate, we should not elevate any business model above any other.
That is tantamount to claiming that one model is "better" than another
and therefore more deserving of going first. All models are deserving
of participating in any "testbed" phase.
