It has been able in the past, but I think people wanted something 
better, so nobody complains when it
gets rolled back , and non-visual stuff is further worked on. 

BTW ,  just as idle conjecture, what would the performance of a record 
system that is directories "a  b c d ..." and patient
surname, firstnames, date of birth  as file names, and records as text 
files , perform like, say with 10,000 patients?
i.e. using unix commands find to find the patient record; text editor to 
change it; scripts to run diff on ~ and original name files, and
archiving the diff; grep to read diffs and apply commands such as 
"script"; cron to create document subdirectories and ln -s to link
to imported documents in  a import document directory.
