CLI and Permitted URI Characters

I was working on a cli function and one of the parameters I was trying to use had some disallowed characters that I have set.  I googled to see if it's possible to disable this check when making a request through the cli.  I found this github issue: https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter/issues/4085 and there's a commit that looked like solved it.  But it doesn't look like it was merged into the master branch?  Was there a reason for that?  Someone also gave an example of setting up a MY_URI class to override this but was wondering if the fix to the core was going to be merged into a release version?

Thanks!
