Hey, that implies interest in finding new anti-spam techniques! Good, but
I think the assumption "that there will be early adopters" [2.3.9] might
be misunderstood as an overpromising statement.
It's simply saying that not everyone will adopt the proposal at the same
time. The alternatives are "everyone will adopt it at once" (a common
pitfall), and "nobody will ever adopt it" (a risk for any proposal). A
common counter to many proposals is that they won't work unless everyone
adopts the proposal at the same time. 2.3.9 tries to warn of this
possibility.
Perhaps it should read "there will be early adopters (if any at all)".
