I don't know. The problem with the text interface is that because it needs to dump all the data related to the bug, it must query it all when processing a single request - that rules out some of the most successful techniques for optimizing views (batching and asynchronous fetching of page parts). I think it's worth investigating, but note that even if it's not much of a pain to fix it once, it's a pain to fix it repeatedly, which is why I suggest that we deprecate the text interface and concentrate on the API as a long-term strategy. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
