Hey, Dave... I know some of the merging optimizations in ferret are enabled by fixed field numbers... I just switched over the KS index format to key both stored fields and term vectors off of field names rather than field numbers, and now there's *never* a need to remap -- KS can always read the record as one chunk and transfer it to the new segment without knowing anything about it.

Sure, there's a small space penalty, but it was nice to chuck that resolving code. :)
