        Great, perhaps the best way forward is with a flag that's
        starting as "stable" from the get go and we can later remove it.


    Just curious-- is this the same as a "kill switch" (default
    enabled flag)? (which are already included in the guidelines)


Yea, though the kill switch is 6 lines and the feature itself is 7 lines (albeit web-facing) so the value is marginal :)

The value comes from being able to do it remotely, by pushing an updated finch configuration rather than rebuilding and upgrading everyone's binary.

If we have misunderstood the risk, or if there is a critical bug. We make every feature developer pay the (small) cost of adding a flag to save everyone a ton of effort for the hopefully rare occurrences when it is needed.
