Well, obvously, an API for that would be eminently possible. It is true that it's not today, but if you're talking *one* UI to update vs. 200, this is hardly the dumbest or most onerous thing I have to do monthly, believe me. But it's not one of course, so it's a theoretical point.

Honestly if the auditors decided there were only 10 or so really "must fix" integrations, a student employee could be trained to update all those monthly. I simply don't know what we'll decide we have to do yet.
