I have tracked it down until 2003 (GnuCash 1.x) and the sections have
all the time been empty. IIRC nobody has complained before. ;-)

Here I do not completely agree. QIF is a specific format for financial
data. CSV is a multi purpose format for tables and has other issues.

As Reckon is an australian product only few users might know it.
