This wasn't relevant to the blocklisting. The source package that was blocklisted, and against which the referenced bug was filed, was libnginx-mod-http-lua. This is ALREADY not part of the nginx server's source package. nginx was already at 1.22 in kinetic when the bug was filed to drop the lua package.

This is also not relevant. This package was always in universe, an MIR of a particular lua version doesn't matter!

So I don't see how any of the facts have changed since when this was blacklisted. It looks to me like this is more a case of, it was a mistake to blacklist it, or the Server Team have changed their mind.

Which is fine, I just want to be clear if that's what it is. Un-blocking these syncs is not a problem, I just don't want us to be flip-flopping and having to block+remove them again in another cycle.
