Comment 4 for bug 344054

Yes. The full context is that I'm importing all bugs affecting Ubuntu into Ultimate Debian Database on a daily basis, which takes a few hour. I discussed this with the LP team at UDS, and it is not clear that switching to using the API would provide any benefit (it might also require more HTTP requests than using the text interface).

So I don't plan to rewrite my code for now.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/malone/+bug/231402 for a tentative discussion of what it would take to really improve the situation for me.
