Back when we used to actually try and *meaningfully* compare
worldstones, oh at least a year or so ago (:-), we always used the
same-dated -current tree on all systems using the well-known "shouting
method" of syncronization ("OK, we're all going to use March 15th,
right?  And anyone not using a 15th March tree is just going to shut
up, right?", "[chorus] Right!", "OK then! Build 'em!").

I suggest a return to this practice. :-)
