Yes! The PR hit production on Jan 9 so you’re good to pay out @rushatgabhane on this one.

@lschurr thanks! I’ve applied

@lschurr FYI this is internal, but @rushatgabhane is helping out with PR review and will need to be paid out (once this goes live).

That’s awesome, I didn’t know that. Your copy looks good to me in that case.

Still working on this, should be done soon.

Nope, it’s reproducible.
