@simonsabin Since this edit removes a lot of existing information from maximum_distance, we'll need to confirm the change with the product owner, and it's tricker at the start of a new year with vacations.

There's an internal PR that takes your suggestions into consideration, which is in review. When that merges, this one will close automatically.
