True, true, but the `requires no hacking'[1] part seems very attractive while
waiting for someone to write a tla real VFS[2] caching layer or something...
[1] Tho from earlier problem I had with http archives, I guess tla doesn't
actually pass the right no-cache thing for .listing files...
[2] I forget what this is called in hackerlab, but I mean the tla virtual
filesystem thingie.
Personally my biggest use of remote archives is actually sftp so it won't
help me all that much... hmmm
