These are large systems with their own ecosystems within them. When a project does this kind of thing it destroys a lot of the value that other developers are bringing for no gain.
Honestly, it appears as laziness sometimes like taking the easy route of keeping your verbose C codebase from growing more hair. Other developers are quite happy and accommodating to add experimental features gated behind a flag or option and still maintain a cohesive and polished experience.

- ddtaylor 2y agoYou do not have to include all experimental features in your test matrix.
- tristan957 2y agoIf you are not testing a full matrix, you are creating less reliable software and waiting for bit rot.
