You can achieve the same with an FCFS allocation — the question still stands.

There is a common template for FCFS and Spec Required allocations. Both include 
an optional Reference(s) field.

What is the incentive to request a Spec Required vs. an FCFS? Do you expect 
someone will ask for the more difficult choice, when they get exactly the same 
result?

Up to you all — but Private Use != Experimental!

Linking to the first comment, this would further encourage allocation requests 
with specifications to ask for FCFS…

Thanks for considering,
