Yes, these files are in fact used, and a change would break things.

Also, I really think this is a different issue:  having some files
in *decimal* and some in *hex* is fine.  What's a problem is files
*in hex but without the 0x prefix*.  This can be quite confusing
if the hex number happens to not contain any a-f digits ...
