I'm using reference virus genome A/Beijing/32/1992 to root each cluster phylogeny. It would work to use augur refine to generate a timetree and root things this will, but this is pretty slow. In order to increase the accuracy of this method we should be using a more recent reference virus. If you look at https://nextstrain.org/flu/seasonal/h3n2/ha/12y you'll see that everything circulating finds a common ancestor after A/Perth/16/2009. This should make a good choice.
You'll want to find matching Genbank files via FluDB (https://www.fludb.org/brc/vaccineRecommend.spg?decorator=influenza) and use these to replace config/reference_h3n2_ha.gb, etc... These need to have CDS and gene for each segment. Not all Genbank files do.
This is not blocking things, but should improve accuracy of rooting.
