Pretty bizarre that mkupdate-with-scores and run_nightly do the same things creating tarballs, but test with different versions etc. Seems pretty clear to me that only one of them should do the tarball. A timeline of script actions need to be created to analyze this. Who's even on this list? Probably should continue on the bug for wider committer audience.
