Reason:

Someone was faster than me

Please note that usually a lead time is requested for throttle requests. Opening the task on a friday for something needed on monday (and adding the relevant information needed only on saturday) isn't the right way to plan things.

Please next time allow the designated time of at least two weeks for us to handle your request, per https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_account_creation#Requesting_temporary_lift_of_IP_cap

@Joe I'm guessing that comment is to the author of this task. Are you going to schedule a patch for the backport, or do you want me to take care of it for you? :)

Yes of course the comment was to the requestors :)

And yes don't worry I'll take care of the deployment as well - thank you for helping :)

Please next time allow the designated time of at least two weeks

I wonder in what fraction of situations an organiser would know the IP 2 weeks in advance. If that is at least 30% I would be surprised.

This is definitely not the place to discuss the policy; that would be the talk page for the policy. Please keep comments on-topic with the task at hand.
