Does anyone still need to create legacy HFS filesystems?

[Matthew Garrett]

There's various issues with the hfsplus utilities we ship at the moment, 
including the fact that fsck.hfsplus crashes on 64-bit. I'd like to 
update this to the latest upstream, but code to generate legacy HFS (ie, 
pre-HFS+) filesystems has been dropped. 

HFS+ was introduced in MacOS 8.1 in 1998, and support for writing or 
creating HFS was removed in 10.6 in 2009. I can't think of any reason 
why anyone would really need the ability to create HFS these days, but 
wanted to get some feedback from others before dropping it. Does anyone 
object?
