this is, what I've also still wondered once got aware of this processing
schema ... after a while Ward and me discovered the difference in
defining the segments mask in the makenl.control file

with   segment.*   the strict daynumbering schema and automatism will be
skipped. The segment will be processed, but nothing happens with the
daynumbers extension update

so there are some advantages and disadvantages of each processing method
that makenl offers
