 > > i wonder if we should add the hash to the bandwidth file name in
 `sbws`, similar to what is done with descriptors. Though then we would
 need to allow giving a directory or a file (to be compatible with older
 versions) in V3BandwidthsFile, and then adding (or resusing?) code to find
 the latest file parsing the date in it.
