Yes, definitely. The Harris thing in fgfs was just a proof of concept,
and better than nothing. But that was it. It was rather forcefully
bolted on fgfs. The binary blobs were horrible, and the whole thing
didn't really work well. But this was neither Harris' fault, nor
the one's who kind-of adapted it for fgfs. It wasn't really meant
to be perfect at that time. And it's also not removed, but still in
CVS. So, if someone wants to pick it up and make it good (and fast!),
just go ahead.  :-)
