+# We cannot apply dh_strip_nondeterminism to the PK3 files because
+# it would sort the files inside the archive, and the idTech3 engine
+# is sensitive to order: an archive with re-ordered files is not
+# considered network-compatible. The order of files is arbitrary but
+# deterministic, and is chosen to match the arbitrary order that
+# is present in upstream binary releases.
