I did something bad and had to rebuild my desktop. It warns you that you will
use Get Info comments. BUT, it preserves any icons you have pasted onto, say,
folders! That's nice.

Question: how are people using this ability? I took my application's icons and
pasted them onto the folders containing them. But then it was too easy to
mistake the real application for its folder (double-clicking to open a folder
and getting a launch instead). So, I appended the option-f to folder names.

What are other people doing? Anything like this? Will there be any consensus?
