Very true, but i can actually think of one thing were bzip2 would
really be useful: to better compress the kernel on install floppies
so you could keep more things in it. (like ptys and pass which
would make fixit more useful, or pppoe which was thrown out too
recently if i'm not mistaken.)
Btw you could probably also kgzip the loader, that would free up
some space too.
