Naturally, I would appreciate any assistance at getting more in the 
loop. I've certainly tried, but you (or anybody) should feel free to 
send me suggestions off list. However, Erik and Aaron have been very 
helpful, so any fault here would surely be mine.

That's a reasonable notion. However, given that the labs site was 
basically broken for a week for no reason that's apparent yet, an 
alternative notion is that there is something about the labs code or the 
labs config that blows up, possibly due to use.

If you have an easier way of proving that the new code and config works 
just as well as the old code and German config do, I'm all ears. 
Automated smoke and tests were just the best solution that I came up 
with on my own.

I would love that. I'll contact you off list about arranging that.
