Looking at the number of files on Gentoo mirrors: .gz .tgz 25336 .xz 22469 .bz2 .tbz2 .tbz 15585 .zip .jar 4175 .Z 74 .lzma 47 .lz: 4 We won't add code to our package manager for unpacking a format that accounts for less than 0.01 % of all files. I am convinced that you're doing your users a disservice by not distributing ed in at least one of the popular formats any more.
