want user modulo user feature scope selector

Sounds nice; perhaps using , in the value for the rule will be enough.

Robert has some suggestions about implementation for this in <https://lists.launchpad.net/launchpad-dev/msg07250.html>, specifically towards getting a slice of users.

So there could possibly be two different scopes: consistent x% of sessions (including anonymous users), and separately a consistent x% of users. The difference would be in the first case logged-in users would possibly see different behaviour from one machine to another. That may not matter.

You would avoid this confusion by using two rules:
flag userfraction 1 5%
flag anonfraction 0 5%

That way 5% of logged in user and 5% of anonymous users would get the
flag, and the implementation for userfraction would store in the user
session db serverside, the anonfraction one in a cookie client side.

Yep, that's what I mean by providing two different scopes.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/901529 for doing this for anon.
