	Ah, I see. That must be an abnormally long time window in order for
this to happen any noticeable amount. What amount of time are we talking
about, and what's the nature of the plugin that causes it to take that
much time to make the updating decision? Should it perhaps re-fetch the
bug immediately before issuing an update() to make sure its logic is
still sound?
