yeah, this is looking much more like the suffering I'm seeing with vendoring.

Though query: I presume the battle list includes not only "things that
are themselves broken", but "things that are broken because their

( Otherwise I can see some entries in that list and I don't know why
they're there, because I've not seen any reports )
