And as said in the e-mail you cite you can save on both compression and decompression at the cost of little space. Also the kernel tries (unsuccessfully) to use bzip2 instead of xz
That is not true (in my opinion). The choice for bzdio on kernel*.spec was made so it can be installed on some class of by-now ancient SUSE systems. bzip2 is a bad choice today: it's neither the fastest, nor the most compressing, nor the most compatible.
I'm pretty sure it's to maintain support from dumb things like SLE 11 to SLE 15 direct upgrades. Which people *should not* do!

Well the good news is in tumbleweed we now only have to care about upgrades to SLE-12 which means we can now look at this again which is now something on my todo list. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
