    Unless I'm mistaken, we'd need to settle on a "default" piece size[1] if we were to have automatic upgrading in a client. I learned recently[2] that there's no standard set by the protocol, so Client A might choose a 16KiB piece size, and Client B might take the same files and choose a 64KiB piece size, resulting in two different hashes (v1 or v2!) and thus two peer pools for the same file set.
