Forums / Cotonti / Development / New PFS

What are the benefits of subfolders as compared to paginated folders? Are you sure you can handle URL rewriting? Are "real" folders safe?
Imho, PFS does the job fairly well, and it is something Seditio/Cotonti users have been used for. I'd vote for moving PFS out of the core and keeping a "Traditional PFS" plugin along with alternatives that someone would use at his own risk.
