0.24 had a list of classes that's being applied to the node, very useful 
information.

I use it to find machines that matches criteria for example.  Finding which 
node includes some::deep::nested::class that is included from other::class is 
hard by looking at node files etc, trivial if you look on the nodes in question.

Bug #2734: classfile is only 1 byte big
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2734

Author: R.I. Pienaar aka Volcane
Status: Accepted
Priority: Urgent
Assigned to: Markus Roberts
Category: serialization
Target version: 0.25.1
Affected version: 0.25.1rc2
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Since upgrading to 0.25.1rc2 (from 0.25.0 maybe rc1 did the same?) I am finding 
my classfile has just 1 byte on all machines where previously it was just a 
list of all classes on the machine.
