Even though it's somewhat coincidental ;): Thank you.

Personally, I think it would be an excellent idea to stick to the
standard xz format until the non-standard extensions that were used
for the last batch of tarballs get standardised themselves.

(Those extensions caused user-visible breakage at least on Exherbo
Linux and Gentoo Linux.)
