Fair point about adaptive chunking. You sound like a long-term user!
There is always a trade-off between getting features to users quickly to experiment and incrementally improve, versus doing it always very conservatively.
When we launched adaptive chunking (introduced in 0.11, deprecated in 1.2), we explicitly marked it as beta and default off, to hopefully reflect that. [1]
The approach we are now taking with Timescale Analytics [2] is to have an explicit distinction between experimental features (which will be part of a distinct "experimental" schema in the database, and must be expressly turned on with appropriate warnings) and stable features. Hopefully this can help find a good balance between stability and velocity, but feedback welcome!
