I know you're being facetious, but if I'm _deploying_ something for production, I prefer the totally missing feature. If the feature is missing, I will write a workaround. If the feature is there but undocumented, that usually means it's likely to change in the future, and the change is equally likely to be undocumented. If it changes such that upgrading silently breaks my app in a subtle way that pre-deployment testing doesn't detect, and then causes me to have to explain to a CFO at 8:30 AM why we can't bill for anything in the past three months, why, yes, I'd rather have worked around a missing feature. Yes, this has happened to me.
