The key value of rapid prototyping *for the author and prospective contributors* is lost when the prototype proves only that a mechanism is possible, without also capturing and expressing the kernel of the implementation idea.
(Incidentally this is also why I love those rare projects which preserve the initial rapid prototype in the repo for reference, long long after the program has grown into a full-fledged robust implementation.)
