Yep finer grain control might help
As we're not using a regular app, I guess there wasn't any chance that a few users could have volunteered as 'beta' testers.
However, could have a few volunteers have been given the ability to subscribe, and give feedback, before rolling it out to everyone?

IMO given that it’s opt-in, and you can opt out, I don’t see harm in rolling it out to everyone and iterating based on feedback. If it applied across the board and you couldn’t not use it, that might be a different story

No. Let it out in the wild and kill it if you have to,

Jeff Bezos has a line. It's something like, "the speed in which you make a decision should be based on how permanent the result is."
Most the things we do these days is easily reversed so we ship it once its good enough.

Good strategy. I had a business partner once who used to like to use the phrase "you need a think tank but I just need a do tank"

Although I can't help but think Bezos as Dr. Evil with his little finger to his mouth...
I think that's 'neat and groovy' man!

Well, it only took a couple of minutes for me to use it, for my chin to hit the floor and to formulate feedback.
I did wonder if it was just me for a bit though...
