That's what I thought I remember from briefly looking at it before,
that the way it did that created lots of garbage.  I hope I'm wrong.
IMO, FileSystem should be at least equal to FileDirectory across the
board, so we leave no reasons at all for someone to want to have
FileDirectory in their image (which means they'd have to have both).
