A few possible suggestions:

- scarier option names, like
- a separate config option that allows any experimental option
- enumerate experiemntal options we want to enable
Other ideas?

A separate config file for experimental options:
/etc/ceph/danger-danger.conf


One of the questions I have in this is once you've enabled experimental features, should the cluster be considered experimental forever, even after the feature has become stable? Maybe some kind of subtle corruption has worked it's way in it will take a while to manifest. It seems to me like if you've enabled experimental features on a cluster that all bets are off.

It seems to me like having the features in a separate ceph.conf file would imply that you just get rid of the danger.conf file and things are back to normal, but that's not really how it is imho.
