Choosing zip and recognizing the .pk3 and .pk4 extensions would make it easier for people to package the files for the virtual filesystem. Valve may choose to also use their own .vpk format if it would benefit things like Workshop support.
# Other pressing issues
## Engine: Mapcycle woes
Stop sending WHOLE mapcycle.txt in svc_serverinfo message. It easily overflows the buffer and is **not** used on client side. It's fine to send empty string, so it doesn't break protocol.
## Engine: register hidden and working sys_timescale cvar
It is already used by mods, but right now forcefully registered through hacks. It's even synced over the protocol so prediction won't break.

## SDK: Publish VGUI2 SDK
Used in Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat and Blue Shift of all things.
## SDK: Publish GameUI interface headers
Not even sources, I think community will figure out it themselves, but it needs VGUI2 SDK!
## Inconsistency: Check HQ multiplayer models by default
The 'Use high quality models' options under the multiplayer menu is never checked by default. If you're going to make the HD models the default, then the higher quality body groups for the multiplayer player models should be used as well.
