Can't remember why I tracked this for 23. Still tracking for 24 though, to prepare for a 24.1.

:bhearsum, the dependencies look resolved, anything else needed for this to work which may not be on this bug?

Nope, should be fine. Sorry for missing this question - somehow I wasn't cc'ed or anything.

I don't see anything specific needing QA verification here. Please replace the [qa-] whiteboard tag with the verifyme keyword if there's something needed from us here.

This bug says "enable us to *use* the second number" but it actually won't affect site/add-on compatibility, right?
