Using xz for Linux builds of your software might make sense though, or would do so in the future. Recent releases of Fedora and RHEL already uses xz to compress their RPM packages.
Debian/Ubuntu dpkg supports compressing with xz too -- and it's a hard dependency of dpkg at least as far back as the precise (12.04) LTS release. So I'd say the majority of Linux users already have access to xz.
