Feature Request - pending activation indication

I'm very frustrated waiting for a feature of the latest update provides to be activated, checking a couple times a day in hopes of seeing it. That got me thinking of a feature that would be nice.

 

Can we please have a placeholder for the pending features in each update? Nothing fancy needed, even just the controller option present but faded would let us know the App update was applied and we are just waiting on the feature activation to happen for us. Appending a "Pending" or "Coming Soon" would be nice too.

Maybe on the update pop-up add a line about feature activations pending? That might lower the confusion about why other users are seeing things the user can't see, even though the update pop-up says the system is fully updated.

From another topic:

For the small percentage of impatient users reminiscing of previous Christmases and/or staring at kettles, maybe a flag in the App could be toggled ‘Early Adopter’, if enabled Optimizely could consider a user with this enabled, the user is prioritised in queue, if other pre reqs. are met.

That would be a great option, really help folks trying to support others but having to say "come back in two weeks" when I get the update.
