Tried it and it works correctly for both directions (old rpm gzip, new

This would mean that drpms on rawhide will still suck upto F12, but I
could live with that :).
I assume we don't do F11 => F12 drpms?
On the other side of it, does anyone have any stats. on how much was
saved by using Xz instead of bzip2? -- Ie. what we'd lose if we did a
mass rebuild.
Here's one I came across:

The article also hints at our problem. We ARE doing the compression on
the end user side. So the compression is costing us 3 minutes to save 24
megabytes of transmission. This actually slows things down for most
broadband users.
