I am back from playing Rambo.  Unfortunately, the elk won the battle.  Is
there going to be a meeting tomorrow?  If so, where and when.

  I read through the doc. We have company so I couldn't spend a lot of time
on it.

  I like the toolkit nomenclature. It's better than ADC.

  I have the same question that's highlighted in the doc. "Is this true –
specifically, are there any other file-system peculiarities we have to worry
about, or can everything else be handled through the VFS?"
