And I didn't get any errors this morning ...

No problem - when this was last discussed I had sort of assumed that it
was an overall rate-limiting thing, it's just when you mentioned an
error limit I realised that wasn't the case. TBH, I had never really
thought very deeply about it all! (But it's good to learn about these
things.)

I suppose then that it could be the errors in the 3.26 version
affecting the users of 3.24? Is the userbase of 3.26 high enough yet
for it to be an issue? I suppose it will be in a couple of weeks when
Fedora 27 is released.
