You are right @juanignaciosl, we should remove this, as it is said in this comment: https://github.com/CartoDB/cartodb-platform/issues/3798#issuecomment-356237847

Nginx does not know anything about feature flags or something similar from the application. So, at the moment we deploy the static pages and the changes in nginx everyone will be, first trying to use the static pages and fallback to rails if it’s not found. The feature flag in production/staging won’t have any effect anymore.
