It is *much* worse for text files, and it is *much* worse for balls as of pax(1) (and if via tar(1)). In my opinion, of course. Plain is only that compress(1) is not even installed anymore on a lot of boxes. *And* that i agree that placing new algorithms under a compress(1) interface does seem to not make any sense. And that a the xxhash64 of BTRFS or zstd (but even xxhash32) is still better than CRC-32, if you go the mathematical approach, people go away from CRC32, they do, standards do, too, and even though i know that SHA-1 and MD5 are still used for checksumming even if they are broken cryptographically.
