I think this is awesome for features ... but if
we're putting work
into this, I would love even more to have a clustered a+b production
environment, such that 10% of folks are put on the new release
(cluster a) and then it gets pushed over to cluster b. Then we can
also test performance in a real world environment, and breakages only
happen for 10% (PS the 10% number was pulled out of thin air).
The opt-in beta is much too limited, as well as being inapplicable to
the vast majority of our traffic (logged in users are such a small
percentage) to make proper comparisons. You could also see the impact
of features on usage for average users.
I thought the idea was to not annoy users with unpolished/beta features,
unless they've opted in. This seems to be the rationale for mobile.
