Of course, it did happen. Then, after the stint caps were axed for Fuji, everyone also thought they would never come back... until it did.
The last time around Toyota was able to bring it back for oneoff appearance because they had the VETO right for such, I wonder if they still do...
Maybe this year, they announce the comeback of it 30 minutes before practice, in revised bulletin?
I guess if there is one single not-entirely-negative thing about bop racing, it's that no such absurd invention of separation is possible. There are other horrible inventions in great numbers but not that. The stint limit is basically the reverse counterpart of the reference lap time absurdity in Creventic racing

Agree, that 1 extra lap mandatory advantage was clearly due toyota huge influence on everything related to tech/sport regulamentations
