Homebrew tap slp/krun is very large on disk

Problem

I appreciate the effort @slp has put into creating homebrew taps for krunkit. Unfortunately, the slp/krun tap is 429MB on disk after cloning. This is because pre-built bottle tarballs are committed directly into a bottles/ directory in the git tree.

The standard Homebrew convention is to host bottles as GitHub Release assets, keeping the tap repo lightweight. Committing them to git means:

• Every brew tap slp/krun clones ~429MB
• The size grows with each new version
• Old bottles remain in git history indefinitely

Suggestion

It would be great if the bottles could be moved to GitHub Release assets under the https://github.com/containers/ organisation. The existing tap's git history could be rewritten to remove the blobs (brew update uses git reset, so existing users would be unaffected), or a new tap could be created under the containers org (or alternatively upstreamed to homebrew-core).

Hosting the tap and binaries under containers would also be beneficial from a supply chain perspective. As consumers of these packages, having the tap in the same org and trust boundary as containers/krunkit simplifies downstream security controls and supply chain reviews.

Thanks for the suggestion, I like it, let's see what we can do without breaking existing users.
