I'm still of the opinion we should just turn them off.
I'm ok with turning off a lot of the stuff we have in -extras,
and reenabling it if it turns out to be more popular than we realised.
At the same time, we should probably be a bit more judicious about
enabling new drivers. They're normally not all that great in their
first full release, so they should default to off until requested or
proven otherwise.
Agreed. Though it doesn't hurt to get a feel for something in rawhide,
but we shouldn't just enable new stuff for rebases of stable releases.
