Description . 2015-11-26 15:01:30 UTC 
Between v3.6 and 3.18 hpfall was renamed to freefall as was the service handling it. The migration, however, has been done poorly. Instead of actually really migrating it, the old one was deleted and new one created. This affects at least the conf.d and runlevel entries. Oh, and did I mention the absence of ewarn?

Bump.

The service is critical and this poor migration may cause data/HDD loss. I no longer rely on the service in this package, but someone else still might.

I added a warning to it; not a lot of other migration is really useful at this point; if we re-did it, then we could have copied the config file only.

I agree. Thanks.
