# FIXME This is a **terrible** hack.  This logic should really be
# in the model.  It's very difficult to put it there because we
# can only perform index updates here, in the API layer, because
# of the way we mix sync/async code.  You should be shaking your
# head in disgust the entire time you read this code and be
# thinking, "What kind of fucking muppet would even think this is
# a good idea?!  ZOMG!!"
