We should no longer need it. Also, it introduces the complication
of "empty but ID'ed raft commands", which is annoying. We could
probably change this to propose a truly
nil
command (mimickingwhat raft does internally) but it is better to avoid this problem
altogether.
If there truly is a case in which we need to nudge raft, it likely
also exists outside of the
splitDelayHelper
, and the sooner wefind out about it the better.
Extracted from #76126.
Epic: None
Release note: None
