"because thats how createrepo works"!? :)
I'm talking in general, why not use the same improved compression for all!
I haven't mentioned an interactive, rpm based, package managers, at all. :)
But when you mention them, it is obvious that we need features and
performance of the delta repodata, which is currently lacking.
Rather than listen to a dandified hullabaloo. :)
I think it would be great to XZ all the things.
For now createrepo still defaults to something else, not XZ.
