I expected another abomination like DOI. I've seen librarians proudly announce that they've made software archivable by giving git commit hashes a DOI shudder.

I expected another abomination like DOI. I've seen librarians proudly announce that they've made software archivable by giving git commit hashes a DOI shudder. Replacing a for all intents and purposes unforgable id with a short number wrapped in a URL that can be man in the middled is NOT a bright idea. Finding blake-256 was a pleasant surprise, content aware hashing is the only good way to do it.
