My reading of that paper and the Wikipedia article suggests it's not very relevant today, except maybe on vax or something that still uses antique hard drives. Most of the passes are targeting older magnetic encoding formats that aren't used by modern hard drives, and they're not relevant to flash memory that use wear leveling anyway.
