Agreed. For 2.26.0, I'm happy with either
- what we currently have, where it defaults to 'merge', or
- the more conservative approach where it supports 'merge' but defaults
to 'apply'
Accepting multiple values for forward compatibility is an optional
cherry on top: I would like us to eventually get there, but I don't
mind if it doesn't make 2.26.0, and it's probably better to give a
change like that some cooking time. (Although I won't complain if it
does make 2.26.0. ;-))

It's possible we should write up some best practices somewhere in
Documentation/ about how to make running "next" go smoothly:
- have a responsive infrastructure team. Pay attention to changes
landing upstream and have the infra team test before the rest of
your user population :)
- if you have a large user population, use gradual rollouts so that a
subset of users can find problematic changes before they affect
everyone
- fast rollbacks
- telemetry to catch regressions (in latency, for example) when people
are too shy to report them
We can also advertise places, such as Debian experimental, that people
can get snapshots without maintaining them themselves.
Thanks,
Jonathan
