How does beta features work?

MediaWiki's BetaFeatures extension is used to enable/disable features in Desktop, but in MobileFrontend doesn't take advantage of it. Can we use beta features for the majority of the MobileFrontend features?

Take a look at the BetaFeatures extension, work out what needs to change there to allow us to use it in mobile.

What do we gain? What do we lose? How much work is needed to get it into a form we can use in mobile?
