It's only a problem if xz or one of its dependencies needs to autoreconf/automake some time in the future. So long as the maintainers of xz and its dependencies -- those are xz, gettext, ncurses, gperf and libiconv, so it's me, Josh and Marcus -- remember that, and either don't use autoreconf/automake in those ports or else switch autoconf to gz first, it's fine. Josh, Marcus, how do you feel about it?
