I responded to Jonathan's message here:

    https://lore.kernel.org/git/YjkjaH61dMLHXr0d@nand.local/

and I think it should be settled now. In an earlier thread, there was some discussion about whether or not a repository format extension is required. An extension is explicitly not required here, since the implementation of cruft packs was designed to avoid such a thing (see [1] for details on "why").

Stolee acked the latest version [2], so from my perspective I would be happy to see this picked up soon.

Thanks, Taylor
