Comment 3 for bug 1908356

> but borderline essential for client-side filtering to work. Without it I would need to call "get_owner_data" for every machine in the list, then store those results somewhere, at which point why not just cut out the middle man and have it available from the start?

Yup, that makes sense. I had raised this a while ago when we were doing the initial design work. Maybe a new web socket handler dedicated to returning all the owner data would be a good compromise. Then it would be called once when the filtering is being done?
