   > I wonder if the dag’s `catchup` should have a say here. The flag 
essentially means whether history should be considered when the dag is newly 
added, isn’t it?
   
   If we want to allow such a feature, I wouldn't overload the existing 
`catchup` flag for that, because the semantics are different - by catchup you 
refer to complete intervals between `start_date` and now, which is inherently 
different than generally timeless assets.
   Personally I don't find it too useful either. An asset refers to the current 
state of a dataset, not a snapshot in time - so there's nothing to replay when 
"catching up": re-running for a 3-month-old event would just read today's data 
anyway, so it's no different from a normal run now.
