Actually a couple of years ago it was build 1937 for version 1.0.2 ;)

Pat sent an email to this list -- here's your chance if you really care
about this!

It's more difficult than a simple "removal". If you'd simply replace all
fnode references with SFT's you'll see a substantial increase in code size
(because SFT's are "FAR"). Also fnodes are used in situations where SFTs
can't do the job (dir operations).

However -- replacing the use of the persistent fnodes that are now in the
HMA by SFTs is a good idea IMHO. This is just a question of time, it may
never happen but it can happen if somebody does it and it works well.

An altogether different subject, and you know very well why. You've made
plenty of patches yourself and most of them went in.

No idea. A bit silent here indeed.
