Probably it is, but in the same sense that District competition was -- FiM began as a revolution, and was later called a 'trial program' by HQ.
As the late sixteenth century courtier* Sir John Harington is famously quoted, "Treason never prospers -- what's the reason? For, if it prosper, none dare call it treason."
Will the FiM model for progression through FIRST progams prosper? Watch and see, or better yet jump in and help.

Sir John's career was marked by many episodes of royal disfavor. He was more skilled at seeking forgiveness than permission. He is credited with inventing the flush toilet.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
