Hold on a second: although Garrett wrote "backward", you and Tom wrote
"backzone". They're quite different things. Although many OSes install the links
in the "backward" file, the "backzone" file is not recommended (see its comments
for why). So I assume you meant "backward", not "backzone".
(This is in contrast to Lester's followup email, which said "backzone" and was
actually about the "backzone" file.)
Maybe we should rename "backzone" to avoid future confusion like this. It's not
a file people should normally want to use anyway.
