The *sources* for TeXLive 2008 will be offered as tar.lzma archives instead of tar.bz2. This makes a little difference in size, but it does make a big difference in decompression time! Note that this does not affect users, only distro maintainers.
Yeah I got that. Ok, so they do it only for the decompression time. I thought they might do it for the size also, because maybe lzma work especially well on their sources. But if it's only because of the time, then it doesn't matter.
