This may suggest that a given "problematic" FPL will always or almost always trigger a problem, for a multitude or possible "environments" (e.g. rest or traffic and other dynamic data)? It would then be conceivable to do one more "dry" test before the data ends to the real live system? (Or on the contrary, how "new" the problem FPL was ... how many days for a given "bad" FPL to trigger something like this?)
Sorry, I imagine more than I should ... just curious!
