I guess we don't have much choice. My real issue with it is that people who use it will have to forever use it on those archives with 0001 start instead of taking a one time hit and correcting those two-three months of archives. Personally I'll manually correct the archives I manage so I will not have to keep remembering this small special case in the future. I rebuild archives from scratch quite often and this could become a problem as I age and my memory fails... ;)
