Similarly, if a user does core.mode = next, the user is expecting to
enable all
future behaviors, because that's what core.mode = next does, if he
doesn't want
to do that, then why would he use that option?
Would this be a good time to suggest a specific wording should be
proposed (or a reminder of what was proposed repeated) for the
documentation of this option. It will be the documentation that users
will refer to when they need to know, rather than the list discussions.
The too and fro discussion suggested that it would be important to
present the chosen viewpoint well, so there would be no
misunderstanding, such that 'users' of the mode realise that they are
acting as testers, and there are no promises for the posterity of any
trial behaviour, and they (the tester) have a 'caveat emptor'
responsibility. And that they need to keep up with developments (list &
release notes) so that at any update they know what will disappear and
appear without warning.
