This may be a silly idea (and i know, patches welcome ;)) but what are
the obstacles to using plain old git instead of the hybrid git/zip addon
system that exists today? Git would allow for small delta updates, full
roll-back support to any point in the tree regardless if the user has
the old package or not. It would also allow for simple local mods,
again with full roll-back/undo support.
It could also easily allow for things like user-selectable
stable/testing/unstable repos by using git branches.
Just a thought,

Users can also clear the packages folder, preventing rollback.
Probably best to zip up the current one. That also preserves genre
art that most skins require in the skin folder.
