I'd like to second this. The discussion about xz is irrelevant to the
thread it was posted on and to this list. It might be relevant on the
Exherbo lists (up to them to decide) but the post here was just
announcing a release of a distro using musl, not soliciting input for
that distro's choice of archive format.
