AFAICT, 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be!

It is really annoying.  There have been at least a few bugs filed
against yelp about scrollkeeper problems.  The last non-spam message to
their mailing list was a couple of years ago, and that appears to have
been shaunm, basically asking what was happening (the answer was "I
don't know of any plans").  The patches linked are all from the Ubuntu
scrollkeeper package.  Hopefully at some point soon, we can remove
scrollkeeper entirely and replace it.  There are secret plans afoot.
