<p dir="auto">It turns out that while it used to be necessary to stop <code class="notranslate">ActiveRecord</code> loading because it would immediately try and connect the database that is no longer the case as the introduction of switchable database connections means it now only connects when a model is used for the first time.</p>
<p dir="auto">So we can in fact just get rid of a load of nasty code, part of which involves copying a list of loads from the rails code which then gets out of sync with rails over time.</p>
