if checksumming is a good idea, shouldn't it be available outside fossil? perhaps the argument is that it might be more efficient to implement this inside fossil. while this might be the case, i don't see how the small overhead of a sd layer would matter when you're assuming an ec2-style service, which will have a minimum latency in the 10s of milliseconds. - erik
