   That was the intended result. WP consumes all lists/diffs during processing   
   and leaves only the current and the previous version in DistribNl. The   
   rationale ist that Points are not likely to make a collection of old   
   Diffs/Lists. Also, at a certain point they become indistinguishable because   
   there is no standardized date information in the list - only the day number.
