Stun from behind code seems to be on green

That's not supposed to be in vanilla is it?

Pretty sure stunning blows from behind were classic from the very beginning.

I thought it was added around the same time as the DoT nerfs on running/kited mobs. Since they were trying to nerf kiting. Maybe not though.

Just to perhaps close the books on this, since Dolalin uncovered beta and early launch patch notes it's given a bunch of insight into evolution of game mechanics. They've been added to the wiki with links to the source material.

This is a patch note from January 1999 beta that strongly indicates flee stuns were in since launch:
