Second that for having all of the API be public. Being able to purge test data via API in a single call is long overdue too and would be a delight compared to the process now - sign in and navigate to the delete page and wait however many hours it takes to finish deleting records individually or silently crash. During this time the API credentials are blocked too.

It would be really nice if there was a freeze on breaking API changes that amount to tweaking grammar too.

Yeah I wonder why the purge-test-data job is blocking and long-running. I suspect it's just low priority to fix it, but I imagine it would be doable to "unlink" the user's entire "test database", provision a new one, and wipe the old one in the background whenever convenient (and not even necessarily the same day).
