Great lead on that - I read the whole rant on that page , and found almost everything matching my current understanding of things.

Do you have any idea about what is done to modify the thermostat?

I've seen drilling holes in it (example pic below), but would prefer a mechanical modification to the opening temperature setpoint, rather than a simple always-on bypass.

So for example, did you see holes in the plate?
