Currently the feature flag is enabled on production
It is possible that this MR will still need some changes to remove references to the feature flag in the code. At the moment the gitlab-housekeeper is not always capable of removing all references so you must check the diff and pipeline failures to confirm if there are any issues. It is the responsibility of groupsource code to push those changes to this branch.
Note: If you do not want to remove this feature flag at this time, you can add an intended_to_rollout_by_date attribute in the feature flag YAML file to prevent automated removal.
