A while back there was a bug in the parachain that caused vaults to miss out on rewards. A fix for this has already been released, but in order to reimburse the affected vaults, we need all vaults to first withdraw their rewards. This proposal makes all vaults call fee.withdrawRewards. Once this is done, we can do a storage migration in a future proposal to reimburse the affected vaults.
Is there a good reason to run this against all vaults, instead of only vaults that have not collected rewards since date X?
Are you suggesting you can force certain accounts to run an extrinsic without updating their clients?
Just asking out of curiosity. Not against it.
Yes this is indeed possible using utility.dispatchAs (which can only be called by governance).

Mainly because this way is easier and less error-prone. This proposal does not incur execution fees on the vaults so there is no real downside to withdrawing for all vaults.
