Can we expect xz support next?

  No. LZMA-based formats like xz are too slow for web transfer speeds.

    Isn't LZMA decompression pretty fast? For static assets its slow compression doesn't matter.

      The cost of compression isn’t nothing. A lot of Linux distros have moved off of it for packages since they heavy Zstd compression was close enough on size while saving a lot of time & CPU bandwidth.
