So, the changes for bug 613468 can be done in about a week, but they will 
involve database schema changes.  Since we don't run a test publisher on edge, 
the best I can do is get this working on dogfood before the beta deadline on 
September 2nd, as the next LP release is scheduled for September 8.

Cheers.
