Hello,
I'm happy to say this will be resolved with the soon-to-be-released
v1.3.0 release; see commit 82c0f34c7e (maint: Do not xz-compress ISO
images).
Closing!

For the user or for the website? If its for the website i dont see 200MB
(difference between .iso and .xz) is making a big deal different, And if
the complain real about that in Megabytes then there shouldnt be a
direct download to the image not .xz nor as .i
Well, providing a .iso with compression would hopefully be similar to .iso.xz,
and it would allow us to provision guix directly in gnome-boxes etc, that rely
on osinfo-db (we have guix there, but no URL because of the extension).

Hi There,
I see that guix compress its image here:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/
Which im not sure why (I dont see any known project doing that), But
regardless to the reason behind it this is actually give some problems
to users who want to use Guix on outside server, Many host providers
