Not so long ago (the end of April, this year) someone tried to switch
ImageMagick to using lzma-compressed tarballs, and caught a lot of flak
from others who were unfamiliar with this form of compression. If Tim
could integrate it with libarchive, I'm sure that it would be more
favorably received.


Indeed, the main argument against was that you need an extra dependency
to unpack these, and there's no point in requiring that as bz2 versions
were available.
