Popa,
I did consider that. Which is why I only asked for one psak. Technically speaking it was l’maysah because it applies (if at all) during golus. But I could see an argument that the Shulchan Aruch left it out because it wasn’t relevant.
The Rambam leaving it out of Mishneh Torah is the biggest raya. But I might also have expected tshuvos from the Geonim (the last Jewish Revolt in E”Y was in the 7th Century), the Don Joseph Nasi attempt, the period leading up to Shabsai Tzvi, and the short period immediately before the advent of Political/Secular Zionism when Chovevei Tzion was started.
