Sorry, but I cannot parse this "should", and cannot understand how the
first sentence leads to the conclusion ("So") that we must have this
patch.

"They should support it when able, because doing so gives them _this nice
property_ (that is unspecified)"???

Or "They must support it because we are changing the code not to work
without"???

Or "Because the transport layer has been restructured cleanly enough to
allow passing general payload, there is no reason not to do this change to
pass 'archive' output in addition to the 'git smart fetch/push protocol'
payload, and this allows the archive command to take advantage of the
helper based transports"???
