I don't see how disabling decoding could make sense, can you explain?
Not in detail, it's not an area of expertise of mine. We call
(decode-coding-region (point-min) (point-max) 'undecided) on the
payload of "
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/archive-contents",
which is raw text. The resulting buffer's buffer-file-coding-
system is iso-latin-1-dos.
What does this code do on GNU/Linux?
The same. The resulting coding system is iso-latin-1-unix.
