Did current preflight failures go through deprecation reports or some other means to inform relevant developers? Do we have means to outreach to impacted developers and inform them about the deprecation trial? Also, might be better to have the trial enabled before going ahead with the removal. +Andre Bandarra <[email protected]> - FYI >> >>> >>> Context: Since M104, we've started sending preflight requests before >>> private network access, but ignoring the preflight result (or the lack of >>> it).
