Hi All,

This is finally finished up. We had a long quiet period while a few jobs
finished up and it looks like everything got queued up for re-execution
once we restarted. 

We'll be checking in with the JJB folks and others using the Jenkins
REST API to see how they're affected by the new CSRF settings.

Cheers!
