>Experimental feature flags is basic software development.
No, it is not basic or even recommended. Experimental feature flags should be used sparingly, especially those that take effect at runtime.
The worst codebases I have worked in were littered with runtime feature flags all over the place, which rendered many tests worthless by creating a combinatorial explosion of runtime complexity.
It is the greenest of developers who use experimental flags liberally.
