Thanks to you MartinRinas to sharing this. But I believe the biggest problem on the organizational level is the transparency and predictability. I could use the client version report on CQD to see which version users are using and if new version is coming, I could see how widely it has been distributed. But as you told also, that is not the full picture.
I cannot see those feature flags from anywhere (?), I cannot see on which rings we are, and I have no possibilities to see when certain feature rollout is starting to our end users. Are you planning to share any visibility to this, or is this just a cost we need to pay when using the cloud services?
And about the public preview, if we allow users to choose to use that option, how I could see who have accepted the preview, and of course in centralized? It could be a challenge for the support organization if people who have forgotten that they are part of the preview features, and start reporting odd user experiences.
