Sounds excellent. As a further check, it would be nice if someone with access to the master CTM repository could run md5(1) across the repository and make the result available (together with the CTM deltas that it relates to). This would let people check that their local repositories haven't accumulated any bitrot. BTW, in making these changes to the CTM format, remember to make sure that the existing ctm can at least apply the new deltas (even if it can't understand the signatures) :-).
