And if you create zim files with lzma compression we need to make sure, we can read the file on every system, we support. It makes no sense to have some zim files with bzip2 compression, which work on windows and other zim files with lzma compresion which don't. We have to commit us to one compression method to prevent fragmentation. Or do you want to offer zim files for ubuntu and zim files for windows and zim files for fedora and zim files for freebsd?
