You can remove the above condition and do the rest of code, except D65 valve opening. Initially this state was waiting for balancing chamber fill to be completed and open D65 valve later. Now that this function will check the condition and skip the valves actions if not met. this is not the expected behavior.
I see a lot of people doing this to avoid a compiler warning (due to non-use of the given parameter). I don't think we should have to do weird things like this. As we get closer to s/w release, we can consider removing the function if it's still not doing anything.
