I believe most projects are still using with gzip for hysterical
raisins; libvirt itself moved to xz only a couple of years ago.
Standardizing on xz would make complete sense to me, but it might
not be trivial for projects using non-autotools build systems,
plus most will probably not reap the same benefits as libvirt and
osinfo-db - both of which include a massive amount of eminently
compressible XML files.
