This issue is a note that current experiment hosting and review policies could be summarized as "default reject" because the maintenance of code and services constitutes a "shared responsibility" for M-Lab staff, so the bar for adoption is high.
This is in contrast to other policies that could be "default accept" or that limit the "shared responsibility" due to how the system is managed or who has access to it, which taken together could lower the bar for adopting a new experiment or service.
