> I don't even have a problem with using the xz format of a package when a
new version is incorporated in the book, but I am not in favor of revising
the book for current package versions just to reduce the download size by
10-20M.
Agreed, and that's the approach I've been taking. If a package is
upgraded in the book, I've checked for and used the .xz version if
available. Marking as WONTFIX due to there not being a WILLFIXGRADUALLY
status :)
