How did that not get caught in the prototype stage? Like, did nobody ever test that thing with that type of RJ45 plug?

It was only a particular kind of RJ45 boot that caused the issue, so if you are sensible and don't use a cable boot you never ran into the issue.

I could see it also being a problem if you're trying to remove a cable with a stuck latch. Wiggle it around a bit, accidentally hold down the button... oops
