When I started mirroring kernel.org, I was under the assumption that
most of the world was still using .gz for the most part, and we are
under a space constraint that prevents us from having both formats (this
will change once we get the new server for OSS mirrors up and running).
However, Matt's stats are pretty interesting. So even though we
probably won't be depricating .gz right now, I've switched over my
mirror from .gz to .bz2. Peter, mark me (RN-RNO) down as converted.
Now, if only GNU tar would read .gz OR .bz2 format when specifying -z
(my fingers automatically type "tar zxvf", and it will take a long time
to change that. What is bz2? j? That's too hard to remember.)
