So I had held off on pulling this in the hope that it would get more comments.

It does add some new hackery to replace it (like the file accounting), though.

And Christoph's copmmentary isn't really helping the situation.
Christoph, I haven't seen the NAK history, can you elaborate?

And Al, can you please take a look?
