There’s been app whose developers stopped after no longer being able to publish to the Google Play Store, even though they also published to F-Droid.

I don’t know why, but the “cooling effect” is certainly real.

BitTorrent v2 allows for per file hashing, which makes it easier to merge swarms. This could be used to keep individual episodes alive without splitting seeders between season pack and individual episodes.

But given how many tracker staff want to continue doing what they’ve always done, I don’t think it’s big enough of an advantage for them to allow v2.
