Well, to recap, that usually only affects you if you have an empty
database; you *customarily* only grab two days of data per run:
tomorrow, and 2 weeks from now (the first new day you don't have).

So it's really only a problem if you're starting up (which, of course,
lots of people will be doing, here shortly).  We clarified that to the
z2l guy, and he said, approximately, "Hmmm....".

We're waiting to see if anything comes of that revelation.

He posted a link to their forums; I haven't had the chance to go check
it out yet.
