So, this was discussed with the SSO team lead; SSO has *more* downtime
than LP at the moment, and LP has -now- got an excellent track record
for being up, reliably, with schema changes being a 90-240 second
downtime.

Things like RT have a fallback mechanism for IS themselves to bootstrap.

SSO *and* LP teams both want SSO to stop doing LP team reporting and
have that be done by consumers checking directly with LP... so this
API is going to be 'short lived' [some years probably] anyhow.

I will double check with James, but I'm quite sure this won't degrade
SSO uptime to unacceptable levels.
