xz is present in all modern Linux distributions and FreeBSD. It is also available on Solaris 5.11 as pkg://solaris/compress/xz (but not installed by default I think). > And I want drop one and don't replace one. Going from zip+gzip+bzip2 to zip+xz will drop two and add one. And it will reduce download size for users who build from source by several dozen MB.
