Totally agree. This aggressive stance about xz suddenly is not even helpful to anyone. xz has been and will always be my preferred compression algorithm for times to come, despite this pitfall of really insane levels of social engineering. I feel for the author having burn out and such, but in all fairness, xz is one of the best compression formats of today's time and still going.

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