This isn't true. What we have is pretty strange.

WKTR turns on all experimental features, no matter what their default is.

This is a bit crazy because it means we're potentially developing three different configurations, and testing the one that none of us ever live on.

1. Dev build with experimental features as their default
2. Testing with experimental features all on
3. Shipping, where we hopefully remember to turn off any experimental features that default to on.
