Well, the problem is Lepred's bag + the weight limit. Lepred's bag
let's people concentrate on the important things like killing monsters,
solving puzzles and gaining exp, by allowing them to just pickup
everything and process it when they are back in Scorn. The weight
limit causes a problem with this style of playing, since you can
no longer open your bag and "get all".

Yep. If one can empty the bag onto the floor (the CHANGES file for 0.94.3
indicates that this might work again) the problem is mostly fixed, since
identifying works on items on the floor --- you can empty the bag, identify
the stuff, pickup the stuff you want to keep, and alchemy the rest.

Which is a problem, and also makes things more difficult when the server
is updated, since you have to rebuild the whole archetype thing again.
It also makes it more difficult to check out things --- not everyone likes
to apply all sorts of patches to crossfire/lib/, rebuild his archetypes
file etc. just to check out some new map.
