I don't know, really. I was just making a guess because most of the
readonly volumes date to last Monday.

I've done the latter. The file /var/usr/local/sync/release.excludes may
contain a list of volumes, one per line, which are not to be released by
the script; I've made project.sipb one of them. This isn't fancy. Any
more customizability it
Perhaps project and user should be added to the release.excludes file.
Judgement call. I wouldn't object.
