There was a safety recall so that hose was cut to install a bypass valve. Goes to the heater core.

Yup, heater hoses. If you're lucky, it's the hoses, not the adapter that mounts
to the back of the head.
You can delete that thermostat if you want to- it's a fix for a problem that doesn't
affect most of us.

So I shouldn't worry about it?

You should fix it.
