Hello,
As a json dump consumer, I have a script run by crontab to retrieve each week the latest dump. Usually the download starts on tuesday and I can work with it on wednesday.
Changing when the dumps will be generated means I'll have to keep an eye on the current date just because of this change (everyone always knows which day of the week is today, not that much people know which day of the month it is ..). That makes me wonder what are the use cases where this will makes things easier ?
Another thing, the generation of a dump sometimes fails and I see it re-started. With all the dumps generated one after the other to prevent from using the same resources, does it mean that a re-start of a failed dump would have to wait that all the other generations are finished ? Just wondering ..
