Per discussion w/ @Ramon Guiu and @Ben Evans , the next (7.0) agent release will focus on getting the Flamegraph feature to GA, with appropriate posts/documentation updates to promote this to customers but they will have to enable JFR themselves.

In the next (7.1) agent release, we will configure JFR to be on by default.

This approach will give time for these new features to settle in and for us to get customer feedback.
