xz is just a horribly designed format, and always has been. If you use it, please switch to Lzip. Same compression level, but designed by someone competent.

Be an asshole elsewhere. This makes me LESS want to use lzip because of such aggressive non-useful slander and just plain nonsense.

Someone competent? More like a drama queen butthurt that his pet project did not win the popularity contest. Not the kind of person I want to rely on for important tools.
