You have all the time you want if you don't put dogfooders at risk. No
one is saying that you should not take the risk to try something new
(side note, you spent enough time on spark & flyweb to know that). But
when it comes to shipping there is a minimum bar to meet, and with
basically a x2 memory usage we are not meeting it in this app yet,
sorry. Feel free to ship a new app alongside the existing one instead
and ask people to try it, since we can't do A/B testing.
The problem we have is that most people don't care enough about having a
stable nightly, which is why we haven't updated dogfooders for more than
a month now.
