| - **Improved Auditing and Collaboration**: Easily track the complete history of your environments, including who made changes and when. This granular audit trail enhances security, ensures compliance, and promotes seamless collaboration within your team. | ||
| - **Streamlined Development Workflows**: Similar to Docker tags, Pulumi ESC version tags provide a familiar and intuitive way to categorize and utilize specific revisions to manage different stages of your environments. | ||
| - **Disaster Prevention**: By pinning a version during import, you can test new configurations in isolation before applying them to critical production systems. This minimizes downtime, reduces risk, and ensures business continuity, boosting confidence in deployments and supporting agile practices. |

Can we make this bullet number 1? This is the key value IMO.

Updated in the latest commit
| - **Global Infrastructure Update**: You need to deploy a new configuration to a global service spanning multiple regions. Tag the updated configuration as `Next` and deploy it to one region for testing. After verifying stability, you can confidently roll it out to other regions. If issues arise, quickly revert to the previous `Stable` version, ensuring resilient and minimally disruptive deployments. | ||
| - **Platform Team Releases**: If you're a Platform team responsible for generating configurations, by tagging releases with labels like `v1.0-stable` and `v1.2-development`, you can clearly communicate which configurations are production-ready, keeping other teams informed about the ongoing development, and fostering seamless collaboration. | ||
| - **Code Review and Debugging**: You're working in a development environment where the latest revision includes multiple recent changes, and you notice that the application is experiencing performance issues. By using the Compare Revisions Side-by-Side feature, you can quickly identify the specific changes that might be causing the problem, enabling faster troubleshooting and resolution. | ||
| - **A/B Testing**: You can try A/B testing a new checkout flow (checkout-B) against your existing one (checkout-A). Using version tags, you can gradually roll out each to a subset of users, monitoring conversion rates. If checkout-B wins, seamlessly switch all users over with a simple environment reference update – no downtime, no disruption. |

I would leave this out, as while technically true for some really crude form of a/b testing, we are lacking a ton of features that a/b testing would have and is often done at a more granular level than environment.

I dont think we have talked about any of this at a level that I feel comfortable calling out either comments or policies as a future feature. I strongly feel we should remove this section.

IIUC the product name is ESC, unexpanded.
