The powerpeg feature flag had been deprecated for 9 years? In aggregate, yes, the engineering led to the disaster, but the specific engineers had been making everyone piles of money for a long time. The mistakes were fatal, but in a tiny amount of time on a system that old it's honestly surprising it didn't happen sooner.

Deprecated is not removed. I’m talking about airgapping EOL and resurrection of a feature flag code.

The fact that they hordes old code for NINE YEARS evaporates most of the remaining sympathy I had for them. Witaf.
