No hidden purpose. Very old bad code what nobody noticed it so far. You can
just trust your common sense and remove all the things like that. I'll note
if something is not ok.

I expected this and wanted to write you already that this probably won't
work. There are other reasons why $Extend is not good place, e.g. backup
tools, per system $UserMap file for removable devices, etc. I don't think
the file should be hidden.

Yes, we don't restrict access to metadata. It helps development and nobody
else is interested to do otherwise anyway now.

Sorry, I didn't have time for the indexing work yet. I had to fix the file
corruption problem which wasn't so trivial without a performance hit.
