By the way, this patch replaced a regexp with json.loads():
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/quantal/software-
properties/quantal/revision/77
That was good, because a regexp could have been vulnerable to some sort
of xss/injection sort of problem. But, the patch mistakenly left the
following no-longer-true comment in place:
# we ask for a JSON structure from lp_page, we could use
# simplejson, but the format is simple enough for the regexp
That comment should be removed.
