Smalyshev added a comment. It is not a question of resources. No resources are needed for it, it's already done and the only thing missing is permission from Ops to actually run it. It costs us literally nothing but willing to do it.
Now we have a choice whether we want to serve our users, which asked us for it, however theoretically imperfect the using POST for queries may be, or we can reject them telling them their tools are not conforming to our high theoretical standards so they can not get access to our data and they can do nothing about it (telling them to fix those tools is akin to telling people to fix Windows XP - it's just not going to happen, they are users, not creators of those tools). I do not see anybody who benefits from such rejection, but since it's not my decision, I don't see what else I can do here. The patch is there, if there ever will be the decision to use it, it'll still be there. Until then, the access to our data for those users will not be possible.
