We will have to periodically rebase it if we don't want to go insane.

Fair enough. Does it have to stay here? Maybe we can create something
like the tags directory? Branches imply people are working on
something.

It wasn't me who was working on it. If we don't care about and/or
actively work on relocatable packages, let's kill this branch. We
could store the patch for future reference.

I don't know of any outstanding changes that Yann has, but let's wait
and see what he says.

Most probably won't get finished. The change looks interesting and
follows my general idea about moving logic away from GAR. On the other
hand, I don't see fetching as a significant bottleneck. Maybe let's
create a patch from this branch, and store it somewhere, while
deleting the branch itself?

I can't remember what I wanted to do there. Deleted.
