One problem is that I don't think anyone wants to see any

regression in overall package size. Spins still struggle to fit within
fixed media sizes as the package set grows ever larger.
The RPM compression method is pretty irrelevant to Spin sizes because Spins
are typically live media and so use the live media's compression, not the
RPM compression. All the RPMs are already unpacked and recompressed using
the live media compression technology (currently xz).
