Thinking...
The builders run RHEL 6, and use koji to install from the buildroots there. Since they use the koji repos, they likely would have the old metadata compression, so they'd still work. But there may be oppportunity for breakage there that I'm not aware of.
mash would work, in as much as rawhide is composed in a rawhide mock chroot. The releases are composed on a release-ish install, so that would work there, but we'd need to make sure the createrepo calls in pungi, etc. are updated to match. But this would mean the release repos are different than any random createrepo that is run by the a Fedora user. If we're OK with that, we could do that.
