Hmm... you may be right (that's the problem with posting first thing in the morning). The issue probably is more of a factor for existing systems that have done lots of adds & deletes over time than for new installations. As long as you provide some sort of script to properly calculate the new backfill info file, I suppose the issue becomes moot. Of course, there's still the issue of overpopulated directories and moving them out, but that's a different problem...
