Proposal for an Experimental Alpha Release to Enable User Opt-In Testing of DuckDB Extensions

I totally get that y'all need to vet the patch to make sure it's "ready for prod". but might you consider shipping an experimental alpha release that users into which users could opt? I'm a duckdb extension ecosystem newb so I don't even know what's possible. maybe there's a flag I could pass to turn the incompat error into a warning? both scenarios would enable Motherduck users like myself to help the company in their testing/tire-kicking efforts.

best case scenario, is it just works for me
worst case scenario: i hit a bug and gain empathy and appreciation for the work unsung work y'all Motherduckers do to bring stability to the OSS project

I would love a order of magnitude estimate for releasing support for 1.5.3! one day? one week? one month? Asking as the maintainer of the dbt Fusion DuckDB adapter, who overeagerly updated the duckdb ADBC driver that Fusion uses to 1.5.3. Should I spend a day undoing this or allowing users to specify their own version of the driver? Or should I hang tight because support will soon be shipped?
