OK... I now have my first example in 14.0 of vuln.xml NOT being fetched at
00:30, so you do still have an anticongestion delay.

With this new information, I see at least 3 options:
1) If you use my patch, you don't need this new, separate
   "fetch vuln.xml hours earlier" job; you can go back to fetching it when
   the security test is run;
2) Keep the fetch-hours-earlier job, in which case you don't need my patch,
   nor do you need the +600 (10 minute) margin in 410.pkg-audit, and if
   you're doing all the anticongestion fetches earlier, maybe you can
   eliminate doing the anticongestion delay again at 3 AM;
3) Ignoring my patch and doing nothing works, too, but leaves future
   programmers to wonder why there's a 10 minute delay in the code.
