     * probably encoded with multihash to indicate algo + hash
     * sha256 at the minimum
     * would be nice to include an IPFS/IPLD CIDv1 root hash for each file, which likely involves doing an ipfs file object chunking
+    * maybe even including the complete IPFS/IPLD directory tree objects and chunklists?
+        * this is because generating an `index.mf` does not imply publishing on ipfs at that time
     * maybe a bittorrent chunklist for torrent client compatibility? perhaps a top-level infohash for the whole manifest?
