A first pass that only works with GoBackend has just been pushed. Feel free
to make suggestions or requests. This is the first time I’ve used
databinding for more than just a findViewById substitute, so it’s very

All of that sounds right-on to me, and I think you're right that
ExcludedApplications is the better key.
