feature 28541 no-op

[jeffwashington]

Problem

we need this feature in master, for activation on mnb.
However, it is not compatible with mnb.
So, when it is activated on mnb, it will do nothing.
The changes affected by this feature's activation will only exist in 1.14 and only temporarily long enough to fix testnet.

Summary of Changes

Feature Gate Issue: #28541

Lgtm. This should also be backported too, yes?

Since #28543 is already merged to v1.14, will this backport only to v1.13?

This is already in 1.14. It never needs to go to 1.13

I thought the reason to add this feature was to make all the versions/clusters the same/have the same feature set? If the feature doesn't get backported to v1.13, why bother putting it into master?

All the versions once 1.14 is the minimum supported version. There is no reason to push this to 1.13. We don't need to activate the feature until it is available everywhere on mnb, which will be when 1.14 is the minimum. From that point forward, the feature set will be consistent. There are features like epoch accounts hash which will only be in 1.15. This is a feature that is only in 1.14+.
