Purely a temporary problem, and in any case as long as the wrapper works
(does it?), the node will be auto-restarted when it hangs. This is why
we have disabled the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL hack on new installs; it's not
necessary as long as the wrapper and the watchdog work.

Not really no. Frost has searchable file lists attached to boards. It
has very limited fuqid-type functionality, and even its file list
searching isn't that great. What we are talking about here is amongst
other things a universal index format, which can be used by Librarian as
well...
