He did say to "try" it, you can use a flag. You should assume that any feature behind a flag should never be used in production.

Also, Node v7 will likely get a semver-minor update with V8 55. So, simply waiting for v7.3 or v7.4 should be sufficient and it will be enabled by default.

Those who are sticking with the LTS release for production will need to wait until April/May 2017. March is overly optimistic by the OP as the currently scheduled date is 2017-04-30.

I said March because I read it somewhere. A couple of months further, it's going to be worth the wait anyway. And yeah, flags are pretty much "try it" territory, not "use it in production" territory.
