LZMA really "is a great improvement over the compression" if we talk about compression of binaries. It's undoubtfully *the best* available open source compression algorithm here. But for source archives difference with bz2 is not so drastic. > Many thanks to Julian Seward for bzip2 (among other projects he's contributed > to), but xz is producing smaller packages nowadays. > > So, I'd say that our position is: stop complaining and upgrade.
