I know for a fact that UX is already a major decision point around choosing
Subversion over modern alternatives.
What have we done in the past? A staggered +1 release model seems worthy
where we announce it in version A [with it disabled] to allow users to
"opt-in".
If the value is there, users will jump on it. We can measure it via feedback.
At some point down the line, opt-in folds into "default" and strict is
the new sheriff
in town. This is a very successful way of introducing incremental
customer facing
changes in the SaaS world - that is proven.
