Badger me backwards, it's true. We must all have been out of our tiny
minds when we decided to start the "diagnostics relating to records"
sequence at 50.
Oh well, the damage is done and with that in mind I suppose 200 is as
good a place to put the new diagnostics as any. But we dropped the
ball here.

What is the benefit to that?
