Description
🛑 Status: On hold — PR #3106 closed (not merged)
We are not removing this flag yet. The MFE-side read must follow the upstream feature decision openedx/edx-platform#37972, not lead it.
➡️ Full reasoning: closing comment below. Revisit once #37972 lands a decision.

Summary
Remove the useNewVideoUploadsPage waffle flag from frontend-app-authoring. It was split out of #3063 / PR #3069 because — unlike the routing flags — it does not select between a legacy Django page and an MFE route; it gates a separate, edX/MIT-specific feature (backend flag contentstore.new_studio_mfe.use_new_video_uploads_page, default False, "off by default for the community").
