Hm.  I was hoping you might say more about those use cases --- e.g. is
there a concrete installation that wants to take advantage of this?
By focusing on the real-world example, we'd get a better shared
understanding of the underlying constraints.

After all, both are ways to reduce the bandwidth of a clone or other
large fetch operation by offloading the bulk of content to static
serving.

Thanks,
Jonathan
