Windows 10 Family Safety: Missing in Action

Today I was tinkering with the latest stable build of Windows 10 (number 10074). I tried to create a child account to explore the Family Safety options, but I found that the "Child" option was missing from the account type drop-down. The "Create a child's account" link in the Accounts control panel just created a standard user account.

Some poking around on the Microsoft support forum-y thing confirms that Family Safety is temporarily disabled in current builds of Windows 10. They're improving it and/or building something better.

(I tried upgrading to the latest fast-ring build, number 11something, but now the computer constantly blue-screens a few minutes after booting up. Hm.)
