    The rolling search time in May and June will be good for following lightcurves
    that are at z < 0.8, I believe, but we may end up using a little of our WIYN
    time to improve SNe that are on the borderline of being too faint. This is a
    question that Ariel was looking into with Reynald. (Is that right, Ariel?)

    The main reason these additional SNe in fresh fields would be useful is if we
    don't have enough "good" CFHT SN candidates at z ~ 0.85 to send to HST.
    Otherwise, these would not be followed like the CFHT ones will be in the
    rolling search.
