Switchboard uses a UUID and then segments a user into a bucket based on the UUID. A user's bucket never changes, since the UUID never changes.
In order to opt-in/opt-out of an experiment, we'd need to change a user's UUID, which becomes very complex trying to create a UUID that buckets a user into just the right bucket to get the experiments they want. More likely, we'd have to change Switchboard itself. There might be an opportunity to create a JSON config, saved in SharedPreferences, and used by Switchboard instead of pulling from the server.
