Single github API failure can lead to broken site

[djsegal]

Don't know the exact origin of:

• djsegal/julia_observer#107
• djsegal/julia_observer#108
• djsegal/julia_observer#109

But it seems like a single github api request was mis-hit and brought down the whole julia observer website.

Whoops...

Something went wrong.

Let us know so we can try to fix it.

The way I've been fixing this (after resolving whatever issue actually caused it) is by:

• Locating a package I know exists
• Finding the first version of it where a Batch id is present

Could make a way to never update to a batchless state

// at the end, sort of a trade-off between hard failing and soft failing
