I'm determined to update the swagger-ui package, but the new update looks pretty bad with the minimal CSS we've got applied right now. Other than that, I'm not aware of any downsides to these updates from my testing. CI has been passing for me as well, of course. I tend to check that before I even post these PRs...

Edit to clarify: This package is only used for the "Public API" documentation/demo page. It has no impact on the core site itself.
