Peer-to-peer binary cache RFC/working group/poll

I just had another discussion regarding P2P cache network here:

NixOS S3 Long Term Resolution - Phase 1

I would appreciate knowing how the testing of this software went. If you lacked the time to do a deep test why not enable a nix config option like nix.exerpimental.p2p-caching.enable = true; and let the community help test an official p2p solution? If that software doesn’t work, then you could swap the p2p-caching option for a different solution. (p2p-caching.package = attic;) I believe that if you wish to explore a P2P option then you should tell the community to focus on testing a particula…

From what I hear we just need to do a PR to a good namespace nix.experimental.p2p-cache.enable or something good sounding like that to be able to focus our testing at scale.

It seemed like GitHub - zhaofengli/attic: Multi-tenant Nix Binary Cache was mentioned a few times as well. Maybe a good first candidate to test with?
