In the case of the GettingStarted extension v2, we used a feature branch because it was a user-facing change that took a few weeks to get ready for deployment. Because it was user-facing, there were interactions, and we wanted to test it, we wanted to do it in one shot.
If there were a convenient mechanism to do it, this is a great example of something I would like to see enabled on beta labs during development but disabled in production until ready.
