True. Albeit some systems does not import all the FTN info intact, sometimes
they make up their own inventions on the fly.
Most importantly, IMHO, must be to *not* *ever* tamper with the seen-by
lines in any way.
Now that we finally (since a couple of years back) managed to drop all
duplicate nets, and only have unique nets across the zones, seen-by dupe check
will work well -- unless we yet again stumble across some system that does not
honour the seen-by rules.
And should some incompetent RC manage to create a dupe net, we'll take it
from there... 8-)
