I'm not sure about the pros and cons of this, but there are several teams who get surprised by this failure and want to exclude it.

Because the task itself it not included in the required task lists, removing it entirely from the pipeline gets EC to pass. So for that reason I'm assuming it's acceptable to make it non-blocking.

(The downside is that it's going to be much easier to ignore any failures produced by this test.)

This PR has some useful context. The original intention was that the test should not be a hard requirement to begin with, which I think supports the goal of this PR.

Not sure if this is a good idea or not - it kind of depends how important those checks are considered to me.

Update: After reading the description here I think it is probably a good idea.

I think this is good. It's catching a lot of users by surprise. New requirements, from their point of view.

I think we should add it back in but with an effective date for end of Q1 2025 or something, to give lots of time for teams to adjust and comply.

+1 from me to merge this as-is now and follow up later.
