Speaking of history, DNSOP spent a huge amount of time talking about those
specific strings a year or two ago (and decided to not adopt Lyman's doc).
We can mention the issue in more depth (John, do you have any suggested

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad idea in
the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of
pants.
