It's a "soft launch"...
We're launching promotions in production to give folks (and us) a chance to see how they work as people start using them. It is a very difficult thing to test internally because of the community dynamics involved. We will be monitoring them and adjusting the system throughout the summer based on feedback and how well it works.
