Because that is the way it has always been. They are needed just in case
the CMS file system scrambles the file or the virtual card deck gets
dropped on the real minidisk :-)

And why, pray tell, do we really need sequence numbers on the
records any more? Is someone afraid that they are going to drop the
virtual card deck on the real raised data center floor?

Re: How comments treated by DIRMAINT
If all of the records were actually the same length (as are the
current directory source records, having a sequence number in 72-80),
RECFM V would waste space, not save it.
Think of the disk savings!
