>Ciaran McCreesh You make goods point about the stability of xz not being proven yet and the folly of supporting an unstable format. That said, why are the Exherbo stages themselves zipped with the still-unstable xz rather than the tried-and-true bzip2 when people are strongly encouraged to use bzip2 instead? Isn't that a tad hypocritical? And I thought the packaging system was considered to be unstable until exheres-1 comes out. I'm not trying to be critical, I consider Exherbo to be the best source-based distribution out there right now and cave to be the best package management utility. But I thought Exherbo was about being cutting-edge, not about being super stable a la Debian.
