Not sure what Robert and other authors of the feature think about
that. What I am rather afraid of is somebody deciding to patch a
script aimed at working across multiple backend versions to add
unconditionally --no-manifest all the time, even for v13. That would
kill the purpose of encouraging the use of manifests.

How did you trigger that? I am able to only see this failure when
using --manifest-checksums and --no-manifest together.
