The problem is that you aren't removing the commands, you're making them oper

that continues to get abused by things such as throttling, which doesn't do
anything for clones, global I lines, which do nothing for clones, etc.

You know as well as I do that most of the email addresses for servers are either
directed to /dev/null, ignored, or deleted unread.
