yes - if you don't need the unqualified versions, and its only one
qualifier, you can just rename key/data/indexes from the one qualifier 
to non-qualified, remove qualifier name from text file "qualify" - don't
even have to rebuild indexes - there is nothing in those files that 
indicate that the data is qualified.
