My vote is still for the _common_ practice of just > rounding. IOW keep it as is. As I already hinted at, the common result of comparing two files, as done by e.g. cmp(1), is one bit that indicates equality. This information is lost when using up/down rounding, but it is retained when rounding down. It's _not_ common to be unable to determine equality from the result of a file compare.
