   For me anyway, any time saved in downloading a slightly smaller
   file is offset by the time wasted trying to remember the xz
   equivalent of tar xzvf.

Yeah, i had the same reaction when .xz tarballs started popping up.  But
there is good news.  GNU tar autodetects the compression scheme, so you
can drop the (gzip-only) =E2=80=98z=E2=80=99 and it will DTRT for .gz, .bz2=
, .xz, ...
