We introduce environment variables when we add new features. Initially the default value for these env vars is set to
false
and the user will have to explicitly set the value totrue
to enable the feature.At some point, when we think the feature is stable enough, we set the default value to
true
. At this point, the user will have to explicitly set the value tofalse
to disable the feature.One release after setting the default value to
true
, we should delete the environment variable, which will get rid of conditional code and eventually lead to simpler code. Even though, we have had this policy for a while, env vars have been lingering forever. We should do a one time cleanup for now, and going forward, we should file issues and link them in TODOs for cleanup for future env vars.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
