I think a lot of the solutions come close but don't quite get there. It seems like there's kind of a divide between the open source solutions that are probably more sensitive to the day-to-day pain points of developers and the bigger managed service players that seem to be optimizing for contract size.

Hadn't thought of the frontend build hashing idea - like that a lot

Totally agree that it is a social problem as much as a technical problem. This is one reason why I had the thought here of FM tools starting to own some "feature management" jobs that aren't typically placed under the devops umbrella, and may be more of interest to product or marketing stakeholders. Perhaps that would do something to help with the issue of getting buy-in to do the maintenance.

Hadn't seen this, looks very cool! The static analysis piece seems difficult, but even considering that I've been a little surprised not to see more attempts.

Good point. It's possible the real issues have more to do with price point/positioning and product UX.

My experience with LaunchDarkly has been that a lot of these hygiene-related exist only in their top tier enterprise plans, and even below that point the cost of the tool starts to draw attention.

On the product UX side - I've found these tools are designed for engineering/Devops users but (whether by design or not) by product, success, and some ops users as well.
