Jan Lehnardt commented on COUCHDB-67:
-------------------------------------
Heya Travis, that's great news. The restriction to safe names comes from Damien
(I just relayed the info) and he's used to writing code for all sorts of
obscure platforms. the question here is if we are okay with "just" the major
three or do we want more and does the mean that we need to be more careful and
put some more research into obsucre FS issues? :)
I'd say that they are okay, but I am far from a platform expert.
More input appreciated.
