Hi Ellis,

Thanks for letting us know. You're right, we were failing to archive the
microdescriptor consensus documents. I've just pushed a fix, so this
should be resolved from now on.

That said, we did have some data archiving issues during April (and it
looks like May too, unfortunately), so not all of the data is available
in the archives at the moment.

The silver lining is that we do have this data archived in our database,
and I'd be happy to share the table dumps (or the reconstructed
documents) with you. Would that work?

Cheers,

-silvia
