WHY DID I SAVE SO MANY VERSIONS???:
Because there were features that were dropped that some of you glitch hunters
might find useful, and because archive all the things.

RELATED INFO(Dropped Features):
"Daala Transforms were the major innovation behind the daala codec.[89] They implement "lapped" discrete cosine and sine transforms that its authors describe as "better in every way" than the txmg[90] set of transforms that prevailed in AV1.[91][92][93][94][95] Both the txmg and daala_tx experiments have merged high and low bitdepth code paths (unlike VP9), but daala_tx achieved full embedding of smaller transforms within larger, as well as using fewer multiplies, which could have further reduced the cost of hardware implementations. The Daala transforms were kept as optional in the experimental codebase until late January 2018, but changing hardware blocks at a late stage was a general concern for delaying hardware availability.[96]

The integration of Daala's Perceptual Vector Quantization (PVQ) was interfering too much with testing and continuous integration.[14] The Rate Distortion dist_8x8 heuristic aims to speed up the encoder by a sizable factor, PVQ or not,[14] but PVQ was ultimately dropped.

ANS was the other non-binary arithmetic coder, developed in parallel with Daala's entropy coder. Of the two, Daala EC was the more hardware friendly, but ANS was the fastest to decode in software.[8]" - FROM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1#Features_that_were_dropped
