I have a few pending devices in [hosted.mender.io](http://hosted.mender.io) with `noauth` state which I cannot accept or reject making provisioning harder. The status is jumping every few seconds from `pending` to `noauth` and back again simultaneously for all `noauth` entries in the list.  
I believe they are linked to another request in the pending list so I tried removing some `pending` entries. I reached a point where I have 5 `pending` and 10 `noauth` so my assumption is not right or something else is happening. Any advice?
