Right, hence it makes great sense to use it for this (as opposed to
Bruce's previous script or some other new one).  While it might appear
to be overkill, it actually does lots of useful and good things and
integrates better with the existing setup anyway.

Now that you've provided the magic sauce wrt --skip-steps, can we get an

Andrew, if we're going to rely on that, even just internally, perhaps we
should go ahead and add documentation for it?
