I think it's worth doing, but I am not sure, as I think it might generate regressions for a low number of users who might rely on core.fileMode for some special use cases. (Not sure we would want to support such hypothetical use cases though.) Also it's not so simple to implement, you will have to dig a bit in the code, and not just implement it, but likely also write tests for it. So it's definitely significantly more complex than a simple "test cleanup" micro-project. I might overlook things too. But if you feel like it suits your skills well and are not afraid with something a bit complex, I would think that you can go for it. Best, Christian.
