It would be useful to merge mods together into a single entry in the mod list, while retaining the metadata necessary to check for updates. The use case for this is mods like the Roberts body in Fallout New Vegas (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/54731), where you have the main file plus a bunch of fix files that you would never use without the main file. There are also some minor conflicts between these files in the form of a readme text file, which is unimportant but still shows up as a file conflict. Smashing these archives together into one would resolve that without having to setup 10 mod dependency rules, although it may still need a rudimentary merge order just to ensure that the fix files overwrite the main file and not vice versa.
Note that I'm only talking about archive merging, not plugin merging.
