You seem to be extremely confused about how this conversation keeps starting. Debian has never expressed any opinion about lzip outside of our project mailing lists. The only reason why it's even on our radar is that proponents of lzip keep *coming here* and trying to push it on us. Some of them are polite about it, and we've had polite conversations as a result. Some of them were obnoxious, aggressive, and unproductive. This is a problem for us; being able to work together in a productive and respectful fashion with our upstreams matters just as much as technical features. If you want us to stop expressing opinions about lzip, stop coming on our mailing lists and trying to shove lzip down our throats. It's that simple. If this aggressive marketing of lzip is typical of the lzip community and the style of interactions we would have to have with the project, that is, by itself, an *excellent* reason to not use it. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
