In my  thinking, the  preview switch  mechanism is a  big win  here.  It
allowed for real world testing on multiple projects and provoked broader
discussion,  more scrutiny,  etc which  seems like  it is  *exactly* the
purpose of a preview flag.  Catching  issues at this point is infinitely
cheaper than if it had been put into an official release.

While the process to this point may  not have been as perfect as wanted,
at least  it was caught up  in this gate,  which means that part  of the
process *is* working quite well.
