Idea: Time Bomb on Features

[AidanLaycock]

Hi, I was wondering what your opinion was on adding a time bomb (Expiry date) on features so that developers could create expiring features that would trigger an exception during CI to notify them of any missed features that require removing.

See this article - https://martinfowler.com/articles/feature-toggles.html (Section: Managing the carrying cost of Feature Toggles
) which talks about this.

Hey @AidanLaycock I like the sound of this, however I would want this time bomb functionality to be opt in ideally, I will have a look into it

Hey @JustSteveKing - I was wondering if you'd had any more thoughts on this? As it's something we're wanting to implement :)

Hey @AidanLaycock sorry! I forgot to get back to you!

Yeah I'd be happy to accept a PR on this, it isn't something I would use for my specific approach - but I can see the benefits of it!

[AidanLaycock]

Don't worry about it :) Grand, I'll have a look and submit something for it over the next week or two! 🎉
