One question:
"# Support for the new XZ (aka LZMA) compression format in package payloads and sources has been added."
Is this still considered experimental? Are we considering switching to it by default? Any benchmarks?
We can't this would require another rebuild, so this should be F12 material
Why? AFAIU, it can handle the old format happily too. Just use the new compression whenever the package is rebuilt for whatever *other* reason. When there are no more "old" packages around, drop the old format for good. Rawhide churn is large enough as it is.
