Description Jesse Glick 2001-08-15 02:27:19 UTC

1. readExternal & writeExternal, if they do nothing special, can be removed
entirely for a small performance gain from the module system.

2. The special filesystem is no longer actually used, the layer mount does it
all (with a different special filesystem).

Could not removing GlobalLocalFileSystem carry backward incompability?

Comment 3 Petr Suchomel 2001-08-16 09:46:49 UTC

Applied

Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2001-08-16 21:42:08 UTC

Yes you are right re. backwards compatibility. Suggest though adding
writeReplace and/or readResolve returning null to the filesystem, and
@deprecate it as a reminder that it is there only for compatibility
reasons.
