[QUESTION] What's the purpose of the ratelimited variable

[dkrutsko]

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding something, but I was going through the structure of the globalblacklist.conf file and I came across the $ratelimited variable, but I can't figure out how it's being used since every instance of limit_req_zone and limit_conn_zone I came across uses $binary_remote_addr.

Hello, I wanted to resurrect this issue, as I have also noticed that the $ratelimited variable is not used at all. The purpose of this variable should be to be able to whitelist certain IPs from being ratelimited at all, but from what I can see, this is currently not the case, as the variable is not being utilized anywhere.
