It seems a bit unfortunate to quote a sentence out of context and then misinterpret it like that. Let's expand the quote by one sentence:

> If your site currently uses localStorage, you should try switching to the KV Storage API, and if you sign up for the KV Storage origin trial, you can actually deploy your changes today! All your users should benefit from better performance, and Chrome 74+ users won't have to pay any extra download cost.

I'm not sure what that extra sentence changes. I would still (and in fact, did when I read the release) interpret both sentences together as, "you can enable this today via an origin trial, and in Chrome 74+ it'll be enabled permanently." I certainly wouldn't read it as, "you should sign up for an origin trial and then provide us with feedback so we can continue to evolve the spec."

I realize that to no small degree that's my own fault for not understanding the specifics of origin trials, but how many people reading this article already understand origin trials?

I don't want to derail things -- I just wanted to get clarification that this wasn't going to be HTML imports again. At the end of the day, I don't care how the announcement is worded as long as it's not actually being shipped in the next release as on by default for every site. The spec itself looks really interesting and I'm excited to see it develop.
