The VERIFIED_NAME_FLAG, the VerifiedNameEnabledView, and the verified_name_enabled key removed from responses for both VerifiedNameView view and VerifiedNameHistoryView
were removed as part https://github.com/edx/edx-name-affirmation/pull/12. This was released in version 2.0.0 of the edx-name-affirmation PyPI package. Please see below for additional context for the removal, copied from the name-affirmation commit message.
The VERIFIED_NAME_FLAG was added as part https://github.com/edx/edx-name-affirmation/pull/12, [MST-801](https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/MST-801) in order to control the release of the Verified Name project. It was used for a phased roll out by percentage of users.
The release reached a percentage of 50% before it was observed that, due to the way percentage roll out works in django-waffle, the code to create or update VerifiedName records was not working properly. The code was written such that any change to a SoftwareSecurePhotoVerification model instance sent a signal, which was received and handled by the Name Affirmation application. If the VERIFIED_NAME_FLAG was on for the requesting user, a Celery task was launched from the Name Affirmation application to perform the creation of or update to the appropriate VerifiedName model instances based on the verify_student application signal. However, we observed that when SoftwareSecurePhotoVerification records were moved into the "created" or "ready" status, a Celery task in Name Affirmation was created, but when SoftwareSecurePhotoVerification records were moved into the "submitted" status, the corresponding Celery task in Name Affirmation was not created. This caused VerifiedName records to stay in the "pending" state.
The django-waffle waffle flag used by the edx-toggle library implements percentage rollout by setting a cookie in a learner's browser session to assign them to the enabled or disabled group.
It turns out that the code that submits a SoftwareSecurePhotoVerification record, which moves it into the "submitted" state, happens as part of a Celery task in the verify_student application in the edx-platform. Therefore, we believe that because there is no request object in a Celery task, the edx-toggle code is defaulting to the case where there is no request object. In this case, the code checks whether the flag is enabled for everyone when determining whether the flag is enabled. Because of the percentage rollout (i.e. waffle flag not enabled for everyone), the Celery task in Name Affirmation is not created. This behavior was confirmed by logging added as part of https://github.com/edx/edx-name-affirmation/pull/62.
We have determined that we do not need the waffle flag, as we are comfortable that enabling the waffle flag for everyone will fix the issue and are comfortable releasing the feature to all users. For this reason, we are removing references to the flag.

* Add COURSE_ENROLLMENT_CHANGED: sent after the enrollment update
* Add COURSE_UNENROLLMENT_COMPLETED: sent after the user's unenrollment
* Add CERTIFICATE_CREATED after the user's certificate generation has
been completed
* Add CERTIFICATE_CHANGED: after the certification update has been
completed
* Add CERTIFICATE_REVOKED: after the certificate revocation has been
completed
* Add COHORT_MEMBERSHIP_CHANGED: when a cohort membership update ends
Certificate tests required an update to switch from boolean verified
flag to status. This feature is not deployed yet so only test uses
needed attention.
MST-969 and friends
If the verified name feature is enabled and the user has their
preference set to use verified name for certificates, create and
display certificates with their verified name rather than their
profile name.

- update python files to reference the allowlist instead of whitelist
As part of the Certificates v2 work, and in an effort to make the codebase more inclusive, we are moving away from using the term "whitelist" in favor of "allowlist". This PR is part of our renaming efforts across the Certificates Django app, and other Django apps that make use of Certificates functionality.

- Adds a new `edx.certificate.revoked` event to the LMS.
- Refactor of our certificate revocation functions in the GeneratedCertificate model.
This new event will be emit when a GeneratedCertificate with the status of `downloadable` is revoked (through the `invalidate(), mark_notpassing(), or mark_unverified() functions). Event will have a `source` field that will allow us how our certificates are being revoked from learners and can be broken down in the following way:
*Invalidate*
- allowlist_removal
- certificate_generation
- certificate_regeneration
- certificate_service
- certificate_invalidation_list
- bulk_certificate_regeneration
*mark_notpassing*
- certificate_generation
- notpassing_signal
*unverified*
- certificate_generation

LEARNER-7086. Uses a new model manager for GeneratedCertificate that excludes
certificates whose course_id does not correspond to a valid CourseOverview
Two new certificate statuses are introduced, 'audit_passing' and
'audit_notpassing'. These signal that the GeneratedCertificate is not
to be displayed as a cert to the user, and that they either passed or
did not. This allows us to retain existing grading logic, as well as
maintaining correctness in analytics and reporting.
Ineligible certificates are hidden by using the
`eligible_certificates` manager on GeneratedCertificate. Some places
in the coe (largely reporting, analytics, and management commands) use
the default `objects` manager, since they need access to all
certificates.

The old line:
from path import path
produced pylint errors because of the baroque way that path.py defined
"path". We tried to get them to change how they defined it, but they
deleted the name instead: https://github.com/jaraco/path.py/issues/102
(Jason then changed his mind, but this is a better way to use path.py,
it avoids the pylint error at least.)
