Thanks for your reply. For users of source based Linux distros like Gentoo, or users that choose to build from source on their otherwise binary distro, the source tarball size is more important. Even if the number of such users is small, they can be made happier at almost no cost. The bz2 tarball could even be dropped as it compresses worse and takes longer to decompress than xz, keeping gz for those who value decompression speed over download size.
