I would like to move this feature to beta and enabled per default in CAPI v1.9.

We've been using this feature in production since it's introduction (in CAPI v1.5).

@fabriziopandini @enxebre @vincepri @killianmuldoon @chrischdi Opinions?

+1 from me!

Might be, we need a flag to allow folks disabling preflight checks for an entire setup before graduation.

(I might be misunderstanding what you are suggesting)

I'm only proposing to change the feature gate to: Beta & Default: true at this point (

cluster-api/feature/feature.go

Line 79 in 128914b

MachineSetPreflightChecks: {Default: false, PreRelease: featuregate.Alpha},

)

This then still allows folks to disable it
