I follow the chats and things and always wondered; the best place for normal users to be exposed to new features would be where they are, inside their wp-admin. Why not just an update note about a new feature and allowing the user to activate it as part of user body pre-testing. This will warn the users that a change will ultimately happen and give them a chance to play with the feature before it is completely rolled out and replacing what they currently know. Goog does it allot, where you are able to start using the new feature or continue using the classic until sometime in the near future when the classic becomes no longer an option.
