Interesting.
The official bitcoin site als says the process is experimental

nothing else other than bitcoin - although would you be able to get whatever committee it is that you are passing it on to to respond to me after they have looked at it?

The bitcoin.org page clearly says "Bitcoin is an experimental new digital
currency [...]". Don't oversell it dude.
