Request: Reenabling the no-trim parameter

Question/Feature request

Please describe the issue:

Hello ONT-team!
I have a questions/request regarding RNA004 and its trimming.

Up until version 0.7.3 it was possible to use the no-trim parameter to disable adapter trimming for RNA. Ever since version 0.7.4/0.8.0 (4a28d58 if I'm not mistaken) this sadly seems to be no longer possible (as in, no-trim still exists, but has no effect).
This is actually a major problem for us, because we use protocols with custom sequence adapters. And with dorados automated trimming we observe significant overtrimming for them.
Previously, that wasn't a big deal as we just didn't trim and dealt with the adapters in downstream analyses. But now this is no longer possible (with newer versions), which leaves us in a bit of a pickle.

This leads me to my question/request:
Is there any other way to let dorado basecall (with newer versions) without the automated trimming?
Or, could you reenable the no-trim option for RNA adapter trimming?
Out of interest, could you elaborate on why this option was deactivate in the first place?

Thank you very much for your time!

Cheerio
