That's why I think that such libraries should be maintained by their

Zlib is stable, not because it's maintained by "their own developers",
but because the community contributes fixes and bug reports.

This was one of the reasons why I discontinued the work on my ToPas

We can discuss this topic somewhere else. Look how e.g. 7zip allows to
add new de/compression methods, and you'll understand that this the most
efficient way to go.
