This is a fallout of us not “dogfooding”, but running our infrastructure
on some other distributions.
I agree. While RHEL is part of the Fedora family, we can't really do
much for it. At least we'll eventually get zstd support in RHEL 8. I
suppose we could rebuild rpm with zstd support for the server before
then, since it's just a bcond away...
