Today, I was thinking ths same thing…
I know this is true on our hosting, but I wasn’t sure what we do for self-hosters.
I went looking for the source of truth today about what we do there and discovered that we currently wait until stable.
That’s how we first did things anyway: FEATURE: Automatic promotion of upcoming changes - Pull Request #36211 - discourse/discourse - GitHub
And it looks like that’s still the case here:
I wonder if we should change that to beta for self-hosters?
In the meantime, I’m going to make a small edit to the first post here.
