Unfortunately, we do not.

For the current batch of clean-up changes, it is certainly possible to
add a kill switch. Time-consuming, certainly not nice (the kill switch
will creep in in dozens of places in the code, if not hundreds), but
possible.

For the upcoming set of rewrite-half-of-the-code changes, though, having
a kill switch pretty much means forking the code of Session Restore into
an "old" session restore and a new one.

Do we have a policy on these things?

Cheers,
 David
