Description
As @ehuss said:
It wasn't clear to me before this was merged that this approved a change for the 2026 edition. Can we remove that edition check and go through the process for adding new features to an edition? (Or, preferably, if this ends up changing for all editions, then there will be no additional work to do.)

Let's please remove the edition-dependent behavior until we separately accept this within a future edition.
