[ros-dev] Roadmap / List of tasks / Attn. all developers

[Jerry]

I have thought of a hack that would allow ext2 to store legacy 8.3 file 
names. If a program requests a 8.3 file name we create it on the fly 
from the real one. If the program changes the 8.3 file name, we create a 
sim (or hard) link to the original with the new name. Although this may 
need to be tweaked, you get the basic idea. ;)
