Uh, i) is what's currently happening and it's _exactly_ what causes this
annoyance.  Any file imported from the LSR (which is at 2.14 or similar)
that gets changed at all gets bumped up to current.  Since the imports
are a one-way street, we just get an increasingly larger number of files
getting bumped up to current on each import.
