We've been planning to get a test setup together since conversations at
the Berlin developer meetup in April, but actual implementation of it is
pending coordination with Luca and his team.

My understanding is that work has proceeded pretty well on setting it up
to be able to fetch page history data more cleanly internally, which was
a prerequisite, so we're hoping to get that going this fall.

That sounds a bit factually incorrect. :)
