There are times when I think the "unzip files" approach is legitimate.
For instance, suppose you have a bunch of data files that represent a
snapshot in time for a dynamically updating service. The service,
when run, will consume the initial snapshot of files to build its
database, then delete those files. The service will poll an internet
site for updates to store in the directory and process, deleting them
once they are processed.
You don't want these data files participating in repair, because
bringing those data files back is not what you want after a repair has
been performed.
So you don't want those files participating in any sort of repair
operation and you won't be issuing patches for those files.
