Of course the user would have to make a conscious decision by enabling

And of course the user makes a conscious decision to either compile
from trunk if he wants the latest and greatest bugs and new features
or to wait patiently until Taco thinks the software is ready and
releases a beta.
I don't think that one extra week (or two or three or ... for that
matter) makes any difference.
Also, it's not a matter of enabling but more making a drastic move...
there is a complete infrastructure for switching the underlying handling
of numbers and if there are bugs in the common layer it will influence
traditional mp methods too. As mplib is a core component of luatex/mkiv
it is unlikely that there will be a beta that has not been tested by
taco and me on a bunch of documents that we normally use for testing
drastic changes.
