I hope this question isn't too dumb, but why does backuppc need to use
hard links?
Of course, nobody wants to change a widely used program in a way that
breaks everything,
so this is really a question about some new, future program.
Isn't the pool just a form of hash table that could be implemented lots
of ways?
