It would be great if you could address the ongoing frustration that is Controlled Feature Rollouts.
As a start if you could please indicate every time in these release notes when this applies, and to which markets or regions, etc.
Secondly please up the speed at which you then release these features, or better yet just can this entire concept for Dev and Canary builds.
We're here to test the browser and live on the cutting edge. Often these features get announced and don't show up for several weeks, if seemingly ever. By then they're often completely forgotten about and aren't well tested by the user community. It's still not clear what the point of this is in these testing release channels?
Thanks for the great work otherwise Edge Team!

Facts! Controlled Feature Rollouts might be a little helpful for the developers, just a little, but for the users which are the majority, it's frustrating and confusing. it's hard to use Edge insider channels as default browser, so then user has to set another browser as default and it will reduce the usage and thus the data and telemetry that is sent to Microsoft. so controlled feature rollouts have negative effects overall.
