\"A remote's implementation could do the same thing\" -- right, but if git-annex implements this (through the current special remote protocol) then one implementation covers all export-supporting remotes. Also, implementing special remotes would become simpler, since they could just implement the export part of the protocol, and the key-value store then gets implemented in terms of that. But the main plus would be the uniformity: export remotes would be key-value remotes with an added ability (to store files in human-readable locations), rather than a separate untrustworthy species.
