Comment:

 We already have staged rollouts when we need them, and we have had them
 ever since WordPress 3.7.

 We don't need to implement these in the way that is described in that
 article, and we have no plans to provide tools like these to plugin or
 theme authors.

 More to the point, unless auto-update is enabled, staged rollouts are
 essentially meaningless. Thus, we currently only use them for WordPress
 core security updates when necessary. If and when we move towards plugin
 and theme auto-updating, then these issues will make sense to discuss, but
 at present, they do not.
