I hope so, but if they launch on the suborbital trajectory again because they aren't certain about the Raptor relight for a deorbit burn, then I'm guessing a Starlink won't be able to deploy and raise its orbit in time to not also reenter.

Yeah, they'd need to be doing an orbital test for it to be worth the bother.
