I'm not sure about that one.  Maybe you are right.

I was trying to avoid deleting an otherwise valid pack, because if the
remote side doesn't change anything before our next fetch attempt, and
if we can open that pack without running out of memory, we'll be able
to avoid network transfer altogether and just use what we already have
local.
