They live with it, I suppose. I don't rely on sequences
for anything important.
(And shouldn't that be "now" instead of "until (relatively)
recently"?)
- If you're going to MODIFY the sequence file (which ends
up being a large number of programs, actually), it needs
to be write-locked the whole time you're fiddling with
it.
That sounds like a problem to me. Could an inc have to
wait a half hour for a refile/folder -pack/or any of a
large number of other operations to finish?
