With an EXTn file system, and especially over NFS, more files per directory is
the *last* thing I need.

I already end up with >20,000 files in a single directory for some purposes.

I definitely don't want to make that any worse.

Also, if my . file containing the directory itself gets corrupted, I'm a lot
worse off, the more files there were listed in it.

I can admire Niklaus Wirth and his accomplishments, but this suggestion is one
I shall not be following.
