I think we removed it as part of the normal process, but didn't backport it to every version that had the project (instead added a feature knob). Agreed fine to close if its gone from every version on which it once existed. |

ted.tuckman@mongodb.com this was "featureFlagSearchMeta" which is no longer present in the codebase. I think I recall us ripping that out because there was complications in the backport and also an opt-in query knob or something like that? In any case, I don't think there's any work to do here, but there may be an interesting retrospective to see what happened to it and whether we broke the policy that steven.vannelli@mongodb.com outlined in the above comment. I personally think we should just close this and move on with our lives. |

As discussed with the directors, we are assigning these tickets to the project lead and ccing their lead. Release team has asked for this to be done before June 26. |

Bulk creating "Remove Feature Flag" tickets projects that have been closed with enabled feature flags but no ticket to remove the feature flag from the codebase. As per PM-2974, feature flags must remain in the code until the next Major release. (e.g. If a flag was enabled >=5.1 and <= 6.0 it can be removed after the 6.0 release.) |
