Comment:
We could use this if we don't want to break compatibility for now.
But I think in general it is good to have the option to choose a better compression for specific (large packages), maybe even extend it to allow patterns for packages that need better compression.
I think there are a few candidates where where we could optimize for size instead of speed:

Ok, so it looks like using static xbps is _the_ way to update. It's also easier than I expected.

There's a closed pull request on the void-packages repository
Per-package compression
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/19386
Description:
If index, xbps and dependencies are compressed as they are, planned migration to zstd can preserve compatibilty with old xbps.
