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 don't know better. And all mime rules will continue to use gzip because it's hardcoded in them. No, replacing gzip and bzip2 is the right way, but only if they are 100% compatible and at least pigz is not! It currently doesn't accept '--' as an option to say 'only parameters here after' and thus tools like quilt will stop working. So pigz and pbzip2 must also be made 100% compatible in options before you think about replacing the old tools.
