Somebody reminded me recently that ages ago I had objected to +publishinghistory being batched, IIRC on the grounds that that made it unsearchable. For the record, I no longer think that this is a sensible objection: we have other tools to get full history if we need to, and in any event a page that times out due to having to render way too much data is clearly less useful than one that manages to display something. As Ubuntu gets older, +publishinghistory for important packages gets longer and longer, and this becomes incrementally more of a problem.

So, if batching would help - and I suspect it would, certainly for the packages in question - consider my objection withdrawn.
