during the previous DMB 'cycle', rafaeldtinoco 'owned' the packageset
tooling, and one of his action items was to document it, but i don't
think that happened.

so, while I think it would be immensely beneficial, no, I don't think
there is any record of when the last packageset refresh was done.

Additionally, rafael had an action item to document how the packageset
refresh process/tooling worked, but I am pretty sure he resigned
before creating that document,

Probably, yes!

Maybe we should have some written docs and/or process around this?

Sorry, I have no idea. Not sure if rafael is still around to provide
help (I think almost certainly, not). I suggest we create some written
docs to help with this, though that's up to the DMB team to decide if
it's necessary, or if we should continue to keep this as tribal
knowledge.
