Anyway, liblzma does not "need" to outperform any "competition". If someone wants to work on some performance optimization, it's completely fair to fork. Look at how many performance oriented forks there are of libjpeg. The vanilla libjpeg still works.

- snnn 3y agoThe vanilla python works fine but conda is definitely more popular among data scientists.
