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. [MST-1130](https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/MST-1130)
Requirements/dependencies
=========================
These directories specify the Python (and system) dependencies for the LMS and Studio.
- ``edx`` contains the normal Python requirements files
- ``edx-sandbox`` contains the requirements files for Codejail
- ``constraints.txt`` is shared between the two
(In a normal `OEP-18`_-compliant repository, the ``*.in`` and ``*.txt`` files would be
directly in the requirements directory.)

Upgrading/downgrading just one dependency
-----------------------------------------
Want to upgrade just *one* dependency without pulling in other upgrades? Here's how:
1. Change your dependency to a minimum-version constraint, e.g. ``my-dep>=1.2.3`` (or update the constraint if it already exists)
2. Run ``make compile-requirements`` to recompute dependencies with this new constraint
If you instead need to surgically *downgrade* a dependency, perhaps in order to revert a change which broke things:
1. Add an exact-match or max-version constraint to ``constraints.txt`` with a comment explaining why (and ideally a ticket or issue link)
2. Lower the minimum-version constraint, if it exists
- Not sure if there is one? Try going on to the next step and seeing if it complains!
3. Run ``make compile-requirements``
This is considerably safer than trying to manually edit the ``*.txt`` files, which can easily result in incompatible dependency versions.
