OK, sounds good!

Yes, definitely. I'm okay with unbanning it sooner, if it's doing useful
stuff, and we can contain the load somewhat, and/or we need to test
against production data.

(more that I wasn't sure if it was a legitimate use of the API
earlier, hence reducing the load via the nft rule)

> That might be useful, thanks!

OK, I will send that separately.

Cheers,
