This is NO WAY a junior job and I object to labeling it as such.  The 
outstanding issues are not only some random UI paper cuts, those are 
regressions and crashers that require deeper knowledge of UI code to be fixed 
properly. 

Junior developers tend not to have that kind of knowledge and from my 
experience putting a student on this task will end up in a large waste of 
mentoring resources. Again. So I'm extremely reluctant to do that.

"UI Hacking" is not a synonym of "EasyHack" or "Junior Job" and I'd like 
everyone to write it into their diary, remember it and adjust their rhetoric 
accordingly.
