Fair enough.
Hmm, $CRC - could be useful for EDGE. It'd also make a shared cache
possible...

That shouldn't be a problem; glbsp(1) says that it defaults to version 2, but
will automatically switch to v3 or v5 where necessary. This switching is
implemented in level.c, so you'll get some v5 nodes whether you like it or
not :-)

Well, you know where my packages are...
BTW, I've spent some time today building unstable/amd64 versions of as many
of my packages as I can... yes, this includes EDGE :-)
