He won't have to broadcast the transactions using his Electrum server if he doesn't want to.

you can copy/paste the raw transaction using mempool.space's broadcast transaction window and broadcast it from there.
In that case the old method should still work. You can set
Code:
wallet.relayfee = (lambda: 0)
in the Qt console, and then the GUI lets you do whatever you want. Create even zero-fee txs.

Without the linked PR, the GUI won't even let you sign the tx. (perhaps that should be changed but that's how it works atm)
The server-reported minrelayfee is clamped, just like many other server-reported values, such as the dynamic fees, there are safety limits. It cannot go below 1 sat/vbyte. The PR is changing the value of the lower clamp.
