Policies are bureaucracy and should be created *only* if there is no
other way. Although this particular experiment might have not helped
pushing signed routes and also caused a lot of confusing for some
operators, I generally like the idea of the NCC support experiments.
Only in an environment where NCC staff does not need to go through
hundreds of policies and regulations right before every single step,
worthy experiments bringing up worthy results can take place.

To sum it all up: Please do *not* make a policy just because NCC staff
acts open minded.
