Thanks so much for escalating this problem. I'm glad to see the big,
scary stack traces during normal usage of a critical part of Launchpad
go away.

Thanks also for keeping our users informed by updating
identi.ca/launchpadstatus.

Has this been done? Where are we tracking this?

There's an unreported bug here about the gap in our error handling
system. No end user should have seen stack traces at all. Instead, we
should have displayed & recorded an OOPS, and used that OOPS data to
trigger an alert.
