My thinking on the topic is basically this:
A) For experimental features, it makes sense to make them disappear
completely when turned off, since turning them on is an unusual and
experimental state.
B) For end-user features that are on by default but have a
preference to turn them off, having APIs appear and disappear
fragments the platform.
I believe most of the cases where this occurs in Chromium are
instances of A. We don't tend to expose prefs to do B.
That is what I would expect. My earlier email exchange with Jeremy got
into this side track, but it doesn't seem like something that would be
common.
