I submit that putting "-z" in here is silly, because the sample cvsup
config files turn on compression, and suggest commenting it out if you
have a fast link. It seems counterintuitive that one can comment out
the compression in the standard supfiles and then have it enabled by
default with "make

the only win here is if bzip is used in an infrastructural
capacity (e.g. for packages and other install stuff), and it has been
pointed out that the savings on disk space are offset by the additional
memory requirements. If it won't be used for infrastructure, then why

You're talking as if litigious corporations follow logic and common
