My interpretation of the below quote from the article is that Google enabled the feature through pushing a configuration change to active clients. So if I'm a sysadmin and have done my due diligence and successfully tested the new build (with my configuration) before deploying it, I would be very unhappy if/when Google decides to turn this on without my consent or knowledge.

Ref. quote from article:

"Chrome engineers operate a system called Finch that lets them push updated Chrome settings to active installs, such as enabling or disabling experimental flags."

Thanks, I didn't grok that was something different than the auto-update that I'm used to seeing.
