I don't spend a lot of time actually looking inside archive directories, so from a user perspective it would seem to not make a difference. Does it affect the efficiency of tla operations at all (by _far_ the biggest problem with tla is speed)?
As I recall, the baz archive format successfully: 1. Implements a half-assed non-attempt at Windows portability.2. Ensures that baz and tla are not compatible unless tla merges comparable changes.
(which it did, of course -- unfortunately -- my bad -- misplaced faith).3. Gives an excuse for a "design discussion" (heh) in public between RobertC and me.
