If you know of wording that is more precise, please post a quote.
As far as I've heard, only one application would be affected
adversely by this change (extra stat calls would hurt performance),
and that application, "magicmirror" is not widely used -- since I
found no reference to it in the first few pages of search results.
If you know of other applications that run "ls -i" and depend on
the post-coreutils-6.0 behavior of not stat'ing some files,
please let me know.
