Guys, I didn't put any words in Emile's mouth. I know he didn't suggest
stopping to distribute .gz files. I was just describing the full 'logical
path' to why I don't think that using bzip2 is a very hot
idea. Essentially I was saying (a) We can't give up .gz/.zip (b) .bz2
isn't all that much better to warrant a side-by-side situation and
cluttering the download page (c) -> no real need to mess with bz2
You may disagree about (b)/(c), as I said, it's just my opinion.
