Well the enable until alpha is basically what Josh was suggesting

On the alternate weeks/reboot proposal... rawhide contains a fast
moving kernel already I'm really not sure a revolving door approach
would be good for user or kernel team's sanity or kdbus as a proposal.
The proposal here was to make it easier to be tested so getting it in
the default installed kernel is clearly the biggest obstacle in this
regard. I think maybe do the rest in two phases:
1) get it landed but leave it disabled by default
2) based on feedback of users then review whether enabling it by
default is worthwhile.
It's then easy to review and move forward.
Ultimately I think we need the default to be what is going to be the
default for the release it's being built for because otherwise the
testing is useless for the distribution as a whole.
I agree.
I'm personally fine with having it be 'opt in' in rawhide (at least at
first) if the kernel maintainers are ok carrying the patch.
I'd also like to suggest a wiki page or something explaining how to
enable it, and what to test. Then switching that if it becomes opt out
to explain how to do that.
