It would be nice to support xz(1) compression for large selective packages like firefox or openoffice as those will never run on smaller systems.
Trouble is it ain't no way (CPU, space, banhdwidth on our side and space,bandwidth on our mirrors side) we could build a double set of packages.
but perhaps it would be possible to support compressing certain ports' packages using xz _instead of_ bzip2, the specification being made in the port's Makefile and defaulting to bzip2 (current behavior) if no alternative compression method is specified.
