I am very much in favour of getting some testing before releasing such big
changes.  Any way of not including this in release tarballs is fine, but we
should also not completely give up on non-blockdev approach until we do actually
release it, if only because by having this in for the whole development period
only to disable it for release would mean that we are releasing something we did
not test at all for a whole cycle.

Yeah, I know the above does not give a clear answer or solution, but that is
because I am ambivalent about it.  But I'm not against having this in git to
test it.

Since the change itself is fairly trivial you can consider it
Reviewed-but-not-tested-by: me =)
