That's what I was guessing.  Based on some previous conversations here, I
just finished breaking out all the clients into discrete policies.
Hopefully, they'll be fine.  I'll probably leave them deactivated until my
weekend full cycle and recreate the same, broken policy to keep it going
this week.  Or would either way trigger a full?
