Anurag,

Thanks for the input. We *think* that complete refreshes should be OK; we'll find out for sure tomorrow.
Yes; we will build PK snapshots a.s.a.p. The problem is that the notification from the master site (over which we have no control) was very late. This is a production environment; we just need a day or two to make sure that the 'drop and recreate' scripts are bullet-proof, before we do it in anger. So I hope it makes *some* sense to delay.
