One question:
"# Support for the new XZ (aka LZMA) compression format in package

Is this still considered experimental? Are we considering switching to
it by default? Any benchmarks?
MDV switched a cycle or two back.
The benchmarks, IIRC, showed that LZMA is slightly slower than gzip but
rather faster than bzip2 at decompress time, and compresses
significantly better than either.
