Hi,

I've seen updates for kde and lha available since yesterday, but haven't
seen announcements for them yet...

I only see it in weird 16-bit DOS self extracting archives from 
Taiwanese manufacturers. =(

Japanese government publishes archives of official documents in lha format.
That's popular here..

But I know Japanese standard is not global standard, global standard is not Japanese
standard - how is this in your countries? zip?

Well, Winzip will unpack it. And a lha-archive may contain viruses. So
the use case is: virus scanners. And yes, I do find a few lha-packed
viruses in my logs :)

There is probably much more stuff installed on my system that never gets
used. Could be that I added this by hand (I usually just add all
archivers).
