As a recent graduate of the basket filing academy myself, I am glad to see this. Thanks, Wib.
Butterfly, others can speak better to this than me but the basket he's talking about is the clutch basket. Simply put, it holds the clutch plates. Over time it becomes notched and your clutch plates cannot move as freely and have a harder time releasing fully. This results in clutch drag. Filing the notches out of the basket eliminates the issue.

I just realized the last time I had my clutch apart that the shop manual for the E series KDX instructs that the last fiber plate (the one with the angled cuts into the fiber) goes into the notch at the top of the basket fingers, not aligned with the rest of the fibers. I see Mr. Wibbens's plates are not in that configuration, as are probably most of the E clutches out there. I was putting in my Dyna Ring at the time, so I didn't have a chance to assemble the clutch pack the recommended way to make a comparison. Does anybody think that it makes a difference?

I have had mine both ways. It does not seem to make any difference.
