Apple had darn well better keep all that stuff, it's most of what MacOS
has done perfectly.  File extensions, and even the information that
programs like file can spit out about files don't hold a candle the
resource forks on MacOS.  I just wish I could get those on my Linux
desktop, and have things take advantage of them...
