Yeah, the original proposal (in TODO list) explicitly stated why
I chose lost-found instead of lost+found back then, and somebody
on the list (could have been Pasky but I may be mistaken) said
not to worry.  In any case, if we go the route Daniel suggests,
we would not be storing anything on the filesystem ourselves so
this would be a non-issue.
