It is pointed out that the multispecies model for identical particles is in general not suitable for considering quasistationary nonlinear plasma structures. For phenomena on long time scales, the a priori partitioning of electrons into hot and cold species is often unrealistic unless the latter are actually separated in the phase space by external or self-consistent fields.
