Instead, open a dedicated issue for the specific matter and add the relevant feature gate label.

Are there any blockers for stabilization of this feature?

[lcnr]

Don't think so, don't have the time to push this to stabilization myself though.

[jonhoo]

I can push this through if @jonas-schievink and @Dylan-DPC think that a stabilization PR is warranted?

[jonas-schievink]

You'll have to ask the libs team; you can find them on Zulip

[Dylan-DPC-zz]

Normally we wait for a few months to gain any feedback (though this is small) so i'd wait a bit to see if there are any concerns

@Dylan-DPC This landed back in April, so it's been three months — how long do you generally want the trial period to run for?

Just here to say that I also need this feature in my application.

@jonas-schievink I pinged the libs team on Zulip now, so we'll see :)
