 Thank you for your response,

 It looks like phpunit needs to be created from scratch in reference to
 phpunit/tests/formatting/WPTargetedLinkRel.php

 Nothing in WP, phpunit is in plugins mainly, unless all 3 directory files
 are edited from 44714, and a new one created (phpunit) and where? this
 does not matter, as long as it is already implemented. Not doing this for
 live site, or creating staging site where if robots.txt is not added
 properly SEO ranking is penalized via duplicates by being removed from
 search engines, a huge violation to search engines (duplicates), but
 that's something else in regards to stage sites.

 Is this being added to upcoming WP update? This current link code does
 more harm than good, it can be confirmed via Google analytics 4, referrers
 cannot be seen with no opener, and is being re-added upon removal every
 time post/page is saved.

 Not only is the functions.php code being shared (in search, github, and
 on) does not work, it does not address rel=”noopener”. All this
 contributes to white screen of death (WOD). Not the main issue.

 By modifying, and adding new files can conflict with upcoming WP versions
 from our end.

 Mainly checking in on this issue being addressed, as aforementioned in the
 initial ticket. This isn't a hard fix, however currently it harms page
 rank, and domain rank by adding rel=”noreferrer noopener”.

 There needs to be a permanent solution, because anyone can add
 rel=”noreferrer noopener” if they'd like, not the other way around.

 Thank you for your understanding.
