This third one needs to be cherrypicked too (since /builders uses
fmt:link, so it will start crashing if an SPRB gets dispatched). But
since we apparently don't want to expose the UI at all on production
yet, I suspect we will want to cherrypick a special fmt:link that
doesn't actually generate a link.
