Well, I mean.. settings can also be temporary. Could be constants or from the DB, etc.

Perfect candidate for a FF if it really is temporary. I have my own personal rule. If the FF lives beyond a certain amount of time, it gets turned into a setting.

End of the day it seems like only semantics. Feature-flag and a boolean "setting" to enable a feature are the same thing.
