A part of the motivation of glep44 is about saving space. |

I would like to see it drop the tab handling for indicating newlines |
| 19 |
and just use a real newlines when we want a newline. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
While having the tabs makes it easier for people to read it increases |
| 22 |
the byte size and adds some undesired complexity for admins, scripts & |
| 23 |
programs which want to utilize the file. A basic grep or sort would |
| 24 |
probably be more than a one liner when having to deal with the |
| 25 |
newline+tabs. |

Current ~arch portage-2.1_preX Manifest files are using MD5, RMD160 and |
| 28 |
SHA256; |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Will Manifest2 drop SHA1 and use SHA256 also? |
| 31 |
Is a max of 3 ciphers a self imposed hard limit? If not can we set that |
| 32 |
to be so we don't get carried away? |

The words AUXFILE EBUILD MISCFILE DISTFILE could be using shorter |
| 35 |
names such as AUX EBD MSC DST like the existing vdb CONTENTS |
| 36 |
files does for objects dirs and symlinks. |
