I am curious what your process is here. Do you create a node from this JSON immediately thereafter?

Busy, but what stage are your pull requests at? Do they have associated tickets that are marked fixed/resolved?

We haven't been merging much for 0.10.8 because were trying to get 0.10.6 out the door right now.
