255 yesterday, 227 now

In one of the projects I admin, I saw 4 Family Finder kits from mid-2015 get updated today.
But they have very low numbers of SNPs recorded. 118, 60, 70, and 121
One "updated" haplotype is I-M253 which is no improvement over a STR test. Two others are R-L151, which is pretty shallow. They did test neg for U106 so it's likely they would be P312.
The V2s recently updated had 200 to 250 SNPs in general (V3s were around 350).
Are these V1s? or just a bad streak of V2s that ran through their positive SNPs very quickly.
In another project, I saw no kits updated, which puzzles me. A lot of them are already BigYs, but I could not find any 2015 Family Finder kits that were updated. Maybe tomorrow.
In practical terms, the best outcome for new STR matches is that I know instantly when they can't be close, because of the assignment. Sometimes they themselves have not done a FF test, but one of their namesakes has, which makes the case as clear to me.
However, with this shallow assignment of old FF testers, I got a problem, because I can't use M35 or my main branch if searching for new BigY testers. Probably its a bit of a stupid question, but is there an option which allows us to see new BigY upgraders among the STR testers? The match list can only be sorted by time of the STR test, but not the BigY upgrade.
