I thought the installers were for newbies. 7z is supported by 7zip,
winrar, and even winzip.
I really don't see how someone can be smart enough to use a systems
programming language but not have a clue how to download an archiver.
Even average people hate the default zip functionality of Windows and
they install 7zip/winrar/etc.
Because it's annoying.
The idea should be to have as few steps as possible to install.
Searching
the intarnets for a 7z decoder, wondering if the one you're
downloading is
a virus, etc., is annoying.
If you're a programmer, or even just a power user, you have absolutely no
excuse not to *already* have a 7z-capable program installed.
I didn't have 7z on my Mac until yesterday when I experimented with it.
Let's focus on reducing the size of the zip by only including what's
used and by using faster servers.

Me neither, unless The Unarchiver can open it.
