Our goal is to build a developer-focused platform that gives teams the ability to adopt feature flags as a core part of their dev cycle-- including pretty much all of the use cases described in Fowler's article (ops, permissioning, etc.). Many of our customers are not using us for A/B testing at all.

re: conditionals, DI: our SDKs focus on the base technique (flags based on conditionals), but it's possible to wrap that core with higher-level approaches like DI, etc. We're considering going down that path, but where it makes sense to do so, and not have to re-implement higher-level wrappers for every framework out there. So, e.g.-- in Ruby, I can see us providing higher-level APIs specific to Rails.

Dependent feature flags are also an interesting problem-- we don't have a solution to that yet, but we do spend a lot of time thinking about feature flags, and I hope we'll have something on that front soon :)
