Correction!  I did nothing.  This was all the awesome work of Marcel and
Madhumita (our new team member).  In addition to what Johnathan mentioned
there are two other things:

1. Madhumita fixed the "Validate Again" functionality on the Cohorts
screen.  This lets you re-validate in case some of your users registrations
have not replicated to the labs databases when you add the cohort.  The
Validate Again button shows up automatically if you have one or more
invalid users in your cohort.  If the invalid users are invalid for known
reasons, there's no benefit to using the feature.
2. Marcel fixed problems with unicode user names in JSON output and
re-deployed this feature (it had been rolled back in the past for causing
other problems).

Great work all.
