You can already opt in to testing undployed code by using the WikimediaDebug[1] browser extension (available for firefox[2] and chrome[3])
Maybe we should add an option to force a request to be served from the latest branch instead of the one assigned in wikiversions.json.

This makes me wonder if there could ever be a way to allow some requests to be on one group and other requests for the same wiki could be another group.
e.g. users could opt-in to being a canary or some users could be randomly selected.
When would this not work? If a newer version required schema change then have to stop using old version after applying new schema? but that isn't very common? any other complications?
