Minor follow-up:
People on Mastodon mentioned zstd as another possible option. I added it to
this set and it ended up a few bytes larger than tar.xz.
People then mentioned that zstd decompresses faster, but on my machine I
unpack the tar.xz file in 92 milliseconds. I don't think unpacking speed is a
particular concern for our use case.
Everything combined, I see no strong reason to change the existing set of used
file formats.
