Occasionally I have the same feeling. I usually get over the feeling
pretty quick when I consider two of the ramifications:

1. the codebase for tla would grow substantially and

2. We open ourselves to breaking one of our tenant contracts with the
users -- that archives and changesets are "transparent". If we start 
using our very own diff, patch, gzip and tar, we open up to the nasty
possibility of divergeance.
