I agree.

Perhaps we should discuss it here and come to a consensus.  In the
meantime let's leave the bug reports open to make sure it doesn't get
forgotten.

If we can't agree then I suppose Ian M. will have to make a decree.

It won't get removed if I have anything to do with it.  Its removal is
part of a very heated and often overly-personal discussion regarding
the proposed BSD filesystem standard merger on the FSSTND list.  I
don't think we should discuss it further here.

Ian.
