HS dir hashing is illogical

Amongst the strangenesses:

  • replicanum is defined to be a value in the range 1..16 but is hashed as a 64-bit integer.
  • period_length is represented in minutes; there is no reason not to use seconds
  • period_num and period_length are in opposite orders in the two hashes (!)

Improving this would be an incompatible change.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
