I wish we had done this before ALPHA1 it would of given us
a larger window to work in.

There should be a set of builds Thursday,
can we get this turned on for them so we
can get at least a build with it before
we branch?  IE, commit this to ^head/ now.

Then once stable/12 is branched we can turn it off
in head so the developers are not disturbed.

And further then once releng/12.0 is branched
we can turn it off in stable/12 so that those
users have status quo.

This I think gives us maximal test time, including
the binary upgrade bits that should get tested between
each BETA and RC build.  And minimal impact to developers
and users.
