Packs (Better Variables + Cloud Variables, Store Base64 Encoded Data, Work Around the Project Size Limit)

I'm just going to dump all my questions here (I do fully support this suggestion)
  • Will cloud packages have a limit?

  • How would scratch project to scratch project interaction work (getting and setting, finding packages/making new ones, etc)?

  • Are regular packages stored in localStorage?

  • If question 3 is yes, then is my package protected from other projects who want to view/change my package? (And is there an option to turn protection off?)

  • Can cloud packages hold letters? (I'd presume yes, but I just want to ask to ask)

  • Should ST worry about the safety of packages? Are there protections put in place?

  • Can cloud packages hold lists? If so, this is rejected:

    1.5 Cloud lists
    Cloud variables currently have several restrictions. There can be at most 10 cloud variables per project due to server costs. New Scratchers cannot use cloud variables, for it is easy to misuse them. Cloud variables can only support up to 256 numeric digits to restrict the creation of chat projects; for more information, see #3.1 on this list.

    This block would allow you to create lists to be stored on the servers for everyone to see, similar to cloud variables. However, cloud lists would require similar restrictions as listed above, and the issues currently presented with cloud variables would only grow with the addition of cloud lists. You can still use cloud variables to create a list which contains entries everyone can see, but the Scratch Team will not be adding an easy official way to make cloud lists.
