I'm not set against the concept, just trying to understand the use case,
because if there's a way to solve it that doesn't involve modifying
dirvish, it's likely to be easier.

In this situation:
- for the vaults that have been changed:
you do want to run it
- for the vaults that have not been changed:
there's nothing new to expire so it will ignore them quickly
So I still don't understand the use case. Or am I missing something?
