Yes, let's do that!
It would awesome if we could say definitely that the new rules
contribute to more volunteers before we actually use them.
That's not quite how RFC3933 works. You'd *actually* run the experimental
procedure for (say) one cycle, with automatic reversion to RFC7437 unless
RFC7437bis was approved. I think it's a good idea. A one-year experiment
affects ~half the IESG and IAB seats so is highly unlikely to lead to
disaster.
