The par3 spec has been in development for so long that I have a hard head in it's completion and uptake. I've thought of other integrations as well. A file system that would have integrated parity (much like ZFS/btrfs checksumming, but then recoverable up to the parity you allocated). Of even integrated into 'regular' file formats: there could be an MP3 tag/header that holds parity for it's data stream. Alas, it seems that people have decided this will be solved through other means, par2 is rare as it is. Shameless plug: I wrote a GUI tool to make it slightly easier to work with par2 and a big dir of archive data: https://pypi.org/project/par2deep/ https://pypi.org/project/par2deep/
