[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Is there a move away from the XZ Utils component in progress? (Discussion #3021)

[Panu Matilainen]

The dependency on XZ has always been optional in rpm, it's a matter of distro choice and preferences.
Older Fedora and RHEL used XZ compression on the payload, but both default to zstd nowadays. But, because XZ compressed content is quite common still, disabling it would probably be seen as an unacceptable regression. Maybe in a few years...
