In js-ipfs we're integrating gossipsub and moving pubsub out of "experimental" status. There are some changes we want to make to support this:

1. Enable pubsub by default
   • This will add a small overhead to normal operation of the node but is worth it to allow people to pubsub without having to jump through hoops
2. Add a config option Pubsub.Enabled that will allow power users to disable pubsub if necessary (done: feat: enabling pubsub and ipns-pubsub via config flags #8510)
3. Deprecate --enable-pubsub-experiment flag for ipfs daemon
   • In js-ipfs we will just remove this, but I understand if you want to continue to support it for a period
