The main problem really is that every release seems to fix a bug like
this and uncover a new one, if enough testing is done in the F8 cycle
then I'm sure the functionality alone is enough to bring it back.

I think it might be good if someone started helping Alex with beagle
maintainership so we could ensure quick pushes of new updates as bugs
are fixed. That would aid a lot as upstream fixes their issues.
