After the MAR1012A products were approved, update_cmd_states failed because update_load_segments appeared not to remove all commands associated with a defunct observing timeline. These commands became associated with the new timeline_id, as the ids are just incremented integers, and after removing some observing-only segments, there was id number reuse. While the bug that prevented their removal should also be found and fixed, it would also be helpful if the timeline_id was a more robust unique identifier.
