For some reason I haven't heard of lzip at all until now.
Yes. That's the problem, maybe the main one:
xz people won on this front hands down,
even if technically lzip is better.
Lzip is not going to disappear. Maybe a small group of influential
people already familiarized with lzma-utils helped xz to gain a head
start, but lzip is much more in line with what is expected from a
compressor in unix-like systems.
Think about it, and remember the problem that began this thread. What
LZMA compressor do you think is better for Busibox users; one that
behaves essentially like gzip and bzip2, or one that users of small
systems will probably never be able to make full use of?
