This would allow to\n- ship experimental features and allow early adopters to try them out by opt-in\n- if the flag is active by default, users have the chance to opt out if the feature breaks their work\n\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/timhoffm","@type":"Person","name":"timhoffm"},"datePublished":"2025-09-05T07:51:04.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/30519/matplotlib/issues/30519"}
