No comments usually meant noone cared enough about the implemented feature to comment on it. Personally, I'd never use a compression algorithm that hogs as much memory as XZ does. "Good enough" really is just that, imo, and bzip2 and gzip are widely available pretty much everywhere, whereas I've never heard of XZ before.

on peace.
