OK, sounds good; thank you!  I agree; but we need to track down those
missing snapshots.  See should maybe start an email thread here listing the
missing snapshots and asking people to upload if they have them.  What do
we do with one's we can't locate?  e.g. create fake ones from the nearest
one with a comment comment t that says "faked interpolation between
snapshot X and snapshot Y"?
