I just would like to say, that this is an extremely ill-thought out change.
It's a change to basic behavior thats been in place for years and years, and
makes core files even MORE problematic for disk space as they don't
overwrite each other. Is this a ReddHat change, or a linux kernel change? If
RedHat came up with this, I think they are being extremely foolish.
