Before this change, we relied on a static configuration for the repository with certain branch patterns being protected. When this change goes live, we will need to adjust those patterns so that they do not apply to pr/X branches. Not sure if this answers your question.

Hm, on GitLab the underlying call takes a pattern, but now that I think about it, on GitHub it doesn't. There you have to use GraphQL to add pattern based protection. I should change this method to reflect that. We aren't using patterns anyway.
