I don't know what you're talking about. If an advanced "OBOSFS" is
created, which supports attributes, indices, queries, and all of that, but is
not backwards compatible with BFS, it can _still_ replace BFS. We could simply
include BFS as an option for people who are already beos users.
I never said anything about non-BeOS servers; of course they don't have
dynamic attributes. But that has nothing to do with what I was talking about.
