Mine used to, then it changed, so I switched to using RECENT.recent,
then it changed, now I use RECENT-1W.yaml.
Hopefully that's nice n stable!
While we're on the subject of RECENT*, what is RECENT-Z.yaml? And will
it ever be updated? At a glance, it appears to be a log of all uploads
and deletes from the beginning of time up to some point in recent
history, at which point it stops. It would be Really Useful to have it
be updated a few times a year.
