Was there a merge request for this? Generally we prefer merge requests for larger changes like this and especially anything that's going to be backported to the stable branch. It's good to get more eyeballs on changes and more testing opportunity before merge.

ehh it's mostly dead code in disguise basically, been testing for a quite a bit

I agree with Nate here

noted (though tbf I'm pretty familiar with the code since I wrote it)

For sure, though this is a community project, not your personal project. :) The work that we do affects millions of people, which is why it's generally preferable to get some extra eyeballs on large changes.
