   Modern systems and especially unix-likes are in the dark ages compared to   
   the 90s. Its really sad how much has been lost.   
      
   Classic macs and beos has extended attributes and meta-data as first class   
   files system elements and its still not really there yet on modern file   
   systems. MacOS literally has gone backwards in this respect.  On classic   
   macs you could literally move a files anywhere and the system and software   
   never lost track of it.
