I thought Stefan was just echoing what you were suggesting. When you
think WC is "ready" send a message telling people how they can try it,
and wait a week or so before making it the default. Basically, just
expand the real world testing before we make it the default. Isn't
that what you meant when you said:

"We also plan to warn people again when we
make the switch, and possibly give folks a few days to test stuff "in
the wild" before we cut over."
