I'm working on master, which includes these changes (Ed's branch has
diverged from master slightly, but the important commits match between
them).

I've supplied patches for this to the appropriate mailing lists. I also did
patches for the krogoth and jethro branches to remove master from the
releases.

I haven't had a chance to test this yet, but will.

I also see this error ("Exception Value: name 'k' is not defined"). I'll
have a look this afternoon.

Note that this is the same 'k' error as for the tasks page.

This is the same 'k' error again.

I haven't seen this (yet). I'll keep testing and see if it crops up.

I haven't tried this yet, but will.

Note that the tests need a small fix, as the version of Selenium I got when
I used Python3 pip was different. We don't have this in
toaster-requirements.txt, as it's only required for running the tests, but
we should perhaps change the instructions to fix Selenium to a known
version, too.
