I have been away for a week (just a quick look in, a couple of times during the week, even though I was supposed to be on "holiday") and while I was away Google got rid of the results that I previously referred to as BigDaddy A and B leaving only the experimental results, and the cleaned up version (with the oldest supplementals deleted) left behind, and the "cleaned up" version is the one that is on the vast majority of the datacentres now.
The "same snippet for every page" problem has also been fixed.
Sites that installed a 301 redirect before 2005 June no longer show the redirected URL in the SERPs.
Pages that went 404, and sites that went domain expired, before 2005 June no longer show up in the search results.
New Supplemental Results have appeared for any pages that have changed their status or their content at any time since 2005 June. For pages that are gone, the Supplemental Result has a cache of the final version that was online. For pages that have been updated, the Supplemental Result shows the previous content in the snippet, and the normal result shows current content in the snippet. In both cases the cache is usually only a few days or weeks old.

Lol - wishful thinking Reseller.
I wonder if Google are just holding back on updating DCs etc while they are still figuring out the hyphen domain site problem thing.
Sooooo. In future if you like what you see on specific DCs, you may wish to post; I don't like what I see. That way, Google engineers might keep the results you like :-)
My word... LOL!

This is exactly what I believe... it's just a matter of time.
66.102.9.99
For my domain (90% dropped) all is back again as Supplemental!
The pages, which were not dropped, are not Supplemental, but not ranked!
I'm also wondering if there are extra datacenters outside what are listed in the McDar 56 datacenter tool, as that's what I'm using to check them. Is there any way to find out if they've added a new one?
It's still showing me these results that aren't on any of the datacenters, and both the cache/traceroute gave me 64.233.187.104. But as you said, I don't see the same results when I look at the datacenter itself.
There must be new datacenters that we don't know about, and/or some new mechanism designed to make it virtually impossible for us to watch the datacenters. I can see a site rank anywhere from #10 to #15 for a very competitive term when I search google.com, but it is no where to be found on any individual datacenter when I use a DC watch tool. Is datacenter watching becoming a waste of time now (as if it wasn't already)?
I'm going to go through them in a bit and figure out which ones aren't on there to take a look at them. But I don't think that's it - my results according to the cache were coming from a datacenter that is on the tools and does not show those results when specifically queried. I'm not sure if they're testing them or what, but they're not showing generally. They've definitely been popping up for some people, though, as I've been sporadically getting searches from those positions which I do not have on any listed datacenter.
