I haven't followed this discussion but I don't think it is any of makenl's 
busyness (pun intended) what the relative age of a segment is and based upon 
that accept or reject it.
 
As a ZC I have to accept that whatever is sent to me by an RC is correctly 
named and CRC'd, and if nothing newer is received then whatever's in the 
master-directory "is" correct, whatever its age.
 
There is the exception of course for the odd case where you receive a zone 
segment ZONEx.104 of 2012 when it should have been ZONEx.004 of 2013.
