Vint has indicated to us that ARPA +regards these experiments as extremely important in spite of the +possibility of lockup; we have therefore agreed to assist with the +experiments and scheduled them for May 8. + + Although we do not know whether these experiments will cause +lockup, we suggest that sites do not schedule important network work +for Monday, May 8.
