No one is saying, "Change the default behavior."

No, sorry your logic doesn't make sense. I've read over and over what you
have said and all I see are sentences avoiding the real subject of adding an
additional compression option.

I think it would be better to agree on how to add such functionality (which
seems to be a desired feature) instead continually say that you wouldn't add
it or reasons not to. It does no one any good to fork or hold rogue patches
for a tool that many consider to be a standard, but that's what's going to
happen if all the users of createrepo hear is no.
