Yes, our plan is to keep working on this until we can remove all the constraints in `can_reduce_this_phi`. We have already discussed ideas of how to remove those constraints and we'll be tackling that (and discussing it with you & the community) after we get this initial implementation upstreamed.

Totally understand your concern. I'm fine with setting the flag to true and making it "Diagnostic" - I just don't see it as a "Diagnostic" patch, but if it's fine for you then it's fine for me.
