I think you were looking at the docs for opt-in Shield studies (experiments deployed as add-ons), not for pref flipping experiments. Due to the nature of some of the opt-in studies we run they require a different approval process. Pref flipping is available for all users, it is not opt-in. The

I'm worried we're going from too little process here to too much (at least for this bug). Opening a meta-bug + 4 sub-bugs and doing a legal review, etc., is a lot of overhead to test some network plumbing that is not going to be especially noticeable to users. Also, we expect that this code will

As part of the Quantum Network initiative we are working on a project called "Race Cache With Network" (rcwn) [1]. This project changes the way the network cache works. When we detect that disk IO may be slow, we send a network request in parallel, and we use the first response that comes back.
