Cleans up feature flags that do not have an active experiment and which we don't currently plan to ship, one commit per flag. Notable removals:

  • Automatic (inferred) effect dependencies / Fire: abandoned due to early feedback. Shipped useEffectEvent which addresses some of the use-cases.
  • Inline JSX transform (experimented, not a consistent win)
  • Context selectors (experimented, not a sufficient/consistent win given the benefit the compiler already provides)
  • Instruction Reordering (will try a different approach)

To decide which features to remove, I looked at Meta's internal repos as well as eslint-pugin-react-hooks to see which flags were never overridden anywhere. That gave a longer list of flags, from which I then removed some features that I know are used in OSS.
