Thanks to everyone involved for accommodating the extra load from the stylo
side - it's a necessary part of our ramp-up to shipping. Luckily, we should
only be running the two configurations side-by-side for a month or two,
after which point load should drop back down to normal levels.

Thanks Kim for staying on top of this and coming up with ways to keep it
manageable!
