I did consider that option.

Policy based designs are the right choice in many use cases e.g. Outcome
is a policy based CRTP design.

But in my experience a policy based design is inferior to a feature
enable design in this use case. This is because none of the enabled
features fundamentally change the core featureset even if the underlying
engine has changed, rather they switch on additional features.
