I've got a bit more information now, I'm guessing the changes in [1] just tipped the balance as that's when the data service instances started not being able to process revisions. 1: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/log/?qt=range&q=aae98c297214f87eb45302863adb021078c41a6f...d22a5c18517d662516fc93889534367fd3a448f2 I think I've managed to work around this now in the data service [2], but the problem still remains when running the linter through the script. 2: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/data-service.git/commit/?id=b3d59c650a45429f90953e8fd865a3ba76a891cf
