Well yeah, and that's basically the intention of the emails; an attempt
to communicate with the devs. I do feel it is slightly OT for tech@

On the contrary, I'm not demanding it be enabled or tested right now; I'm
legitimately curious about's it's status, and wondering how close it is
to completition, how safe it is to use it for everyday use, etc. I've
no issue waiting either.

Well, I did say "what's necessary for it to move forward?". I was being
quite sincere about my question. If the reply is "we think it's ok,
but just need more real-world testing", then I know I can use it. Maybe
the reply would have been "it breaks ocasionally and corrupts your stuff".

Let me apologize if this sounds like a "please enable it" email. It
wasn't the intention and I was being quite sinciere about what I meant.
Anyway, I'll enable it on one of my laptops, and send any feedback I
can come across.
