It's basically down to the three big unsolved problems (kernel modules,
translations, docs) and then several dozen little things like this. If
getting really small is a priority we need to solve the big problems, but
chipping away at the little things helps too.
I think nowadays it's either gzip or xz, and everything else is
not
interesting, as the others either are slower or compress worses, and
most importantly: libgz/liblzma are deps of the core OS anyway and
included in the minimal image anyway and are also already mapped into
memory, so come basically free.
