 It would be good to formalize what it takes to get a PT to be considered
 for deployment beyond the rough guidelines we have as part of our Sponsor
 S/T draft.  I have some ideas here about things that should be considered
 that aren't, that other people are likely to disagree about, so discussion
 is needed.

 The last 3 PTs that got deployed were FTE, ScrambleSuit and obfs4.
  * What did we do?
  * Out of what we did, what was right?
  * Out of what we did, what was wrong?
  * What did we consider that we should ignore in the future?
  * What did we not consider that we should in the future?
  * Who's going to do all the evaluation work?
