That makes sense.

In the mean time, can you give us some kind of heads up (ideally a
couple days warning or something) if you are planning to make a change
that could, as soon as it goes live, break an app?  So we can try to
be ready for it when you flip the switch :)

Thanks. Appreciate all that you're doing.
