No, because the problem is that 'snapshot' is gathering *all* messages
for the bug ever, which is unnecessary. We just need to include in the
object changed event any new message as a specific attribute, rather
than trying to infer it automatically: much more efficient, easier to
understand, and without any performance problems.
