We generally like to merge things in pieces than maintaining multi-k
line diffs in feature branches. The completed feature was a gnats arse
from landing but got stuck in review so long the storm-a-geddon
derailed it - I'm glad as much of it is in tree as it is for when the
pieces get picked up (soon I hope!)

I mean we need a database fixture. It doesn't have to live anywhere in
particular.

Yes, along with everything in canonical.*.
