For me, the priority list looks like: I'd like to have a single archive type as well in the future, but I'd settle on Zstd, not lzip, because it's faster to compress and decompress, and its compression ratio is not that different when using its highest level (19). > 1.

That'd be nice, but not presently doable as we can't fine tune retention for a particular 'derivation' and its inputs in the Cuirass configuration, unless I've missed it. -- Thanks, Maxim
