IMO, rpm should not adopt lzip support, unless lzip has proven to be a functional and viable tool. See also: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2008-11/msg00076.html FWIW: I share Bob F's perspective. One lesson the mess about the original lzma has tought, is to be more reluctant on adoption of such compression tools.
