Our concern was that sending emails is done without requests. Setting up a context for feature flags to work will take time we don't have, and if we did set it up, checking feature flags naively would involve a whole new set of "potato-programming" queries for each recipient that might significantly slow down an important script. Again, we don't have time to deal with that right now.
