Like (I'm making this up) if the `snap download' that we do records the
date, or if the core snap that we seed contains a published date and
this is considered the last refresh date if no explicit refresh has
happened yet.

It's a problem we were concerned about especially for LTS releases where
the ISOs people download might be quite old.
