I think this shouldn't be necessary, because:

It's not possible to unintentionally protect a filter any more
The filter we know about that was accidentally protected was fixed in T380290
We will find and fix any more acidentally protected filters in T380290

Documentation looks good. Thank you for working on this @Tran!
