For distros this is useless, of course. I've never used it either. But I guess there are still people installing stuff from sources without using a package manager, and they might find it convenient. > if no one > is using this code, then it's just sucking up space. I'm not concerned about the space, but code needs to be maintained. IMO, as long as it works, we can keep it; if it has issues we'd better remove it. We can drop compression support or do it right - I'm fine with either option. We shouldn't keep the status quo, though.
