The format seems a little too new and you seem to derail the discussion
in a mailing list unrelated to the main project (exherbo).
Would you please stop flaming?
xz took a lot of time to supplant bzip2 mainly because to make it viable

You might suggest to look at the format and help spreading the mindshare
or act like a bully and make people consider the whole thing bad
marketing and start ignoring you and your proposals like it is spam.
