 A problem in what sense: license, or implementation? If it's GPLv2, then
 license isn't an issue; we can modify it however we want. If it's ease of
 implementation, I don't know. Probably not something I have the chops for.
 Groking the Filesystem API is on my list of things to do, but it probably
 won't happen in time for the 3.4 release.

 I just think that, 1) as a matter of principle of using core APIs were
 possible, and 2) as a matter of not introducing server configuration
 issues for end users, using the Filesystem API is the right approach.
