Recovery records are nice, but it seems like the lower layers are getting more reliable, and at the same time less likely to give you any data at all if there is corruption. Particularly anything encrypted will probably think a bitflip is a case of tampering, and things are way less likely to slip by than they would be with a CRC. Nonfree formats are a pretty big annoyance. But 7z is still highly non-ideal. I still want someone to make a modernized sqlite zip format, that lets us fulltext search, add metadata, and has error correction for the data itself, with deduplication, deletion tracking, and efficient merges. No reason we shouldn't be able to update an archive file in place with a smaller update file. Alternatively, someone should invent a plaintext archive file. There's no reason a .odt file shouldn't be version controllable. a few images will fit comfortably in base64.
