[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RPM with Copy on Write (PR #2378)

[Panu Matilainen]

Quoting myself from https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/1470#issuecomment-772410935:

> That said, what little background processing I've managed to do on this, the more I think this isn't a use-case we'd want to be maintaining going forward in rpm itself. 

I could've sworn I made it far more explicit than this, but then maybe it was in some other context.

In any case, lets at least make it clear up-front this time: this functionality is not something we want to maintain in rpm. So NAK on rpm2extents and the reflink plugin, they will need to be maintained separately. The goal of enhancing the librpm and plugin API's to make this all possible is okay, as said before.

I noticed you asking about the plugin API in the discussion, sorry for not replying there. But saying "not quite what I had in mind" would require explaining how exactly to do that, and I haven't got cycles for *that*.
