I presume kernel.org knows this. Why doesn't people use e.g.: XZ?
This is the same as in PDF's. DJVU files could be amazing too. They could compress [convert] a 400 MByte PDF to a 20 MByte DJVU. Amazing.
Why don't these technologies spread??
Any opinions regarding it?
Thanks.

Looks interesting. Here are some more compression/archiving related links:

nice, thank you.
Again, please go somewhere else if you want to discuss general topics. I subscribed to this list because of Centos-related issues, not because I want to discuss pro's and con's of several compression algorithms. It is ok to post the occasional off-topic question, but you are posting *mostly* off-topic questions. Please stop this. Thanks.

If you see a market gap, feel free to jump in. The point is that *this* list isnt a generic software list. Keep things topical ( on/about and for CentOS ), or take it elsewhere.

44.1 million hits on "open source mailing lists"; 1.67 million hits on "open source discussion mailing lists". I think you have a few to choose from.

All those lists are project specific, not for general software discussion.
