I'm surprised that Duncan (the pan historian) hasn't replied yet. Hey,
Duncan!  <slap> <slap> Wake up!

I'm paraphrasing Duncan, who was paraphrasing Charles (Kerr) when he said
that features deleted from old pan would be added back only when enough
pan users demanded it.

Seems to me (the author of one java program and two VisualBasic programs)
that Folders should be fairly easy to add back to new pan.

Right now, though, Charles (Kerr) is looking to fix bugs in new pan, and
not to add new/old features.

Charles?  Duncan?  Anyone?
