Big deal. Even if they hadn't announced it, all the FT members at BOS would've reported on it soon enough.
And, as a scientist, I see nothing wrong with the concept of a one-airport test ("pilot") program. Far better to test it at one airport first, and make an honest assessment as to whether or not it makes sense to deploy nationwide.
(Insert your own snide remark about "honest assessment" here.)
