This is a really interesting topic, and it has complexity I didn't consider until I became deeply involved in some similar systems.

For example, in code, you can generally use feature flags, A/B testing, etc. to show different things to different people quite flexibly, but (depending on how the documentation is actually published) you might have very different capabilities.

Lots of DaC shops use feature flags for their conditional content. "Conditional Content" is a huge hobbyhorse in component content, because you need conditionals to re-use chunks. How else could the chunk be made applicable to multiple people? In doculandia, it's more common to run into conditional handling that's inline with the document markup - ifdef/ifeval/ifndef in Asciidoc, some stuff in Jekyll, S1000D applic, DocBook profiles, DITA class/ditaval - but I'm not one hundred percent sold that's a solid practice. Moving conditionals into the document layer might have been a mistake. I dunno! I'd love to kick off a conversation.
