Looking at the logs breakage seems to have started on the fourth of
feburary somewhere in the morning. 

I used ot be able to call mp-members in a route-set exposed through the
JSON API like this:

    r.json()['whois-resources']['objects']['object']['attributes']['attribute']

But now I have to access them like this:

    r.json()['objects']['object'][0]['attributes']['attribute']

So the dictionary 'whois-resources' got popped and the object known as
'object' was converted from dictionary to a list? 

The effect is that some of my provisioning programs are broken now, and
I don't know what the expected behaviour is right now, and will be
tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Job
