Yes indeed. As of BFAV-fbs.155 BFAV doesn't override anything in
FileDirectory.
Hm, looking at a Snapshot Browser, it seems that there're a couple of
methods BFAV "overrides" - methods that were presumably once altered but
were later reverted back to their original code.
I wonder - can Monticello pull out all these reverted-overrides (for want of
a better name) into a neat list? I wonder what other things we could look
for? And we could then make a delinter for Monticello packages...
