Because if the snapshot is the latest from last week, it will not delete it.
It discriminates on last week (Monday till Sunday), not on a week ago, that
might seem trivial, but it is the reason that it works. Because if it is
Monday, any snapshot from the Monday before untill Sunday is from last week.
It will choose the latest from them and keep that one. If there are
snapshots made on Sunday, it will keep them all (because that is then
yesterday), but on Tuesday it will only keep the latest from Sunday, as that
is the latest from last week then. So the program first decides which
snapshots should be kept, and after that it removes the rest.

Get it?

Cheers,
Bart
