Cheers! Apologies again. This should've landed weeks ago, but was
complicated by my holidays and the python-tastypie dependency chain.

Yes, well spotted. They all drop off on May 18th. I've started digging into
this today but do not have any solid answers yet. We don't seem to be
receiving any fewer reports.

YAY! Very glad it's helping.

I've fixed this in trunk. I'm going to request a deployment for that today.

Yes, that's only happening to problems that have failed to retrace. I'm
looking into it.

Not fixed bugs, but problem pages that you've already visited. I'll try to
find time this weekend to land the branch that makes problems that are
likely to be fixed (they have yet to show up in the most recent version of
the package) greyed out but still clickable.

Thanks for the work, overall that update is a great step for those using
