I think it's important to point out here that all the things around
lazr-js are really what make YUI upgrades so hard.  Since Launchpad uses
lazr-js to get their YUI, that's usually where the problem is.  There
was one major backwards incompatible change between 3.0 and 3.1 (Y.get
deprecated for Y.one), and that's the only big thing.

I haven't had time to break up lazr-js just yet, but I'd like to get to
it soon, specifically for the Launchpad team.  I've talked with Deryck
at length about this, so he knows it's coming as well.

Cheers,
Paul
