It's not for orphaned files (ones that have been unlinked yet still are=20
active). It's for ones that are in the process of being worked on.

Thus the list should stay small.

You could use it for orphaned files, but you would want to limit the=20
number and have a way to indicate "more than I can say." But that's true=20
of any journal system. It should also be rare.

Take care,
