[It'd be nice if you could wrap your text around column 75 so that
those of us on standard 80 column terminals can read and reply to it
easily. I've reformatted the quotes in this reply.]

Changing a bunch of text files that you can easily get back from a
central server is drastic?

Did you ever notice a difference between ReiserFS and ext{2,3}? I

you're more likely to see the difference.)
