Wow, that reflects very badly on the engineering involved. Setting priorities wrong might
cause things not to get done, or to take too long, but it cannot ever be an excuse for

9.3 names back then, I'm pretty sure. File system still in an ACP (separate

I think those were still true for V3.X. I know we had a problem back

ACP over the Disk ACP (because it was faster) that left us with months
of corrupt backups.
