Re: [arch-dev-public] FS#30187, update xz to a prerelease to get SMP support?

I've ask to bump xz to 5.1.1alpha1 release or a later git shot to gain SMP support. It should be safe because it's widely tested in major distributions.

I'm confused. The last release was ages ago, there have been tons of commits, and no indication about stability. I am worried that this release might corrupt archives. I am also worried that the maintainer of xz has no motivation for stabilization at all. You should ask him.
