I think the way Google handles flags/experiments in one project (Chrome) is very relevant to interpreting the language around how they handle flags/experiments in another project (Go).

And I'm pretty sure that their example is that importing "encoding/json/v2" doesn't work until you tell the compiler to enable it via environment variable.

You'd think that, but you'd be wrong. Parts of Google can and do things their way. There's not an all-encompassing "Google way". And even if there was one, the Go team is notoriously doing things its own way.

Google is a massive company and your json is example is literally a different module entirely!!

I assume you’ve got experience in the subject you’ve got an opinion on?
