Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:2 irl]:
 > We are trying to build more robust archiving solutions to avoid missing
 data, and having a window of only a few minutes in which the data is going
 to be available for certain doesn't help towards that goal. We really
 should have a "current" URL that keeps a copy of the bandwidth file that
 was used for at least as long as the consensus is fresh.

 I agree. We have ticket #27047 for this feature, but it's not on our
 roadmap right now.

 Unfortunately, we've had to minimise non-sponsored work in 2019.

 Is there a current sponsor that wants us to do #27047?
 Or should we ask the grants team to find grants for bandwidth authority
 work?
