The waffle switch ENABLE_GLOBAL_STAFF_OPTIMIZATION
has not functioned since the Quince release because the optimization is no longer relevant with the new studio interface (aka the course-authoring MFE). We’d like to remove this switch.
The proposal is here: [DEPR]: Remove waffle switch ENABLE_GLOBAL_STAFF_OPTIMIZATION
Acceptance date is: 2025-01-08T05:00:00Z
Removal target would be the end of January, since it’s already non-functional.
