About why xz is important. 

gnu.org, tug.org started publishing sources in xz format, quick grep:

autoconf/autoconf.spec:Source0: 
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/%{name}-%{version}.tar.xz
coreutils/coreutils.spec:Source0:       
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/%{name}-%{version}.tar.xz
libpng12/libpng12.spec:Source0: 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/libpng/libpng-%{version}.tar.xz
libpng/libpng.spec:Source0:     
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/libpng/%{name}-%{version}.tar.xz
parted/parted.spec:Source0:     
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/%{name}-%{version}.tar.xz
texlive-texmf/texlive-texmf.spec:Source0:

xz is also supported by automake as dist target.
