I think people will use what feels best to them. Personally the extra few
seconds is worth it but mileage may vary. "Real" folders and stores are
synonmous. "Real" folders are just physically mapped and any physicallly
mapped entity can become a storage facility. So you can't get rid of real
folders at all because to have a vfolder you have to have a "real" folder
to back it all up. It's a nice try though but I just don't see it happening
regardless of permance issues.
