There's some complexity here, but assuming a sufficient amount of
tests, I believe it would be worth it if it allows side-stepping the
rate limit to some degree. And the extra complexity would mostly
disappear if the overhead of tiny files was accepted (*).
There are also some other benefits, e.g. a kind of ‘download
resumption’ but for linters, reducing network traffic after retrying
"guix lint" on a lossy network (or because the terminal tab was closed
to early, etc.).
All stuff that can be left for later though!
Greetings,
Maxime.
(*) Assuming 150 000 packages and 1 KiB per package (this would be
file-system dependent!), I end up with 150 MiB. That's a bit on the
large size though ...
