I think that you completely misunderstood what I meant, which was the
BIC / CILIP could use Evergreen as a reference implementation for their
LFC work. As in, they could go ahead and develop modules that add the
LFC standard protocols to Evergreen, thereby making at least one ILS
capable of speaking to equipment that would also implement the LFC
standard protocols.
