If *that* were still a concern for a compression tool (as opposed to various vendor `tar' programs), then heck it should not be promoted at all for wider use. No, I don't think each package using Automake should be turned into a regression test suite for lzma. That's more fear, uncertainty, and doubt, than I'm willing to handle ATM. And if your fears turn out to have a basis after all, then the step to go is to remove dist-lzma and think about it again in a couple of years. Cheers, Ralf
