To say it again I like pigz. But renaming ... ?

Why not replacing it in /usr/bin/compress - the Posix way to define a
Z compressor. If user asks for gzip please give him gzip.

Then 99% of all users will continue to use gzip just because they

Which isn't really a problem, is it?

If it wasn't viewed as the wrong thing, the question had not been raised.
