Quite so. However, it doesn't. And a *very* large amount of stuff is built
on it. Would be good to fix it. Before changing the UI it relies on.

Question: How would the people maintaining it have known that it was going
to be broken this morning?

Is easy to fix, took me < 3 minutes to fix my copy of wikipedia.py (mostly
deleting code ;-).

But everyone else using the allpages generator will be stuck, and almost all
will have no clue what is wrong or how to fix it.
