It's nice, but is that so hard for Mozilla to tell in which version it will appear? Is it the current version or is it the next 102 version (which releases in 2 weeks, but then why they say it "rolls out"?)

If you want to enable it early, I believe you can go to about:config and set network.cookie.cookieBehavior to 5

Likewise you can keep enhanced tracking protection in general but disable partitioning (total cookie protection) by setting it to 4

Looks like it's already in v101.0.1. It's under the Settings | Privacy and Security tab with a new checkbox to allow you to "Test Pilot our newest..." It is not automatically checked for me.

I think the change might just be they will be setting that checkbox to on now? Although I don't remember seeing this option until now.

Mozilla occasionally rolls out features in the current release via remote mechanisms. So it's rolling out to existing v101 installs now. I would assume that v102 will also ship with it on by default.
