"The mention in the article that shim removal isn't required for an oil change/bleed."
This is not unusual, though, I don't see why it's worth mentioning. "If you wish to" you can keep the entire stack on the shaft to change the oil, just like anything else. The removability is just a quirk of their design, how they chose to hold the piston to the shaft. It's not functionally better or worse than other designs, despite the implication that it's something special and useful specific to this damper. That's why I asked if there is a damper out there that would contrast to this one and require shim removal for an oil change.
