Seems like I got confused by instructions from jka-compr.el:
;; To use jka-compr, invoke the command `auto-compression-mode' (which

The DOC strings are much clearer regarding this issue.
Shouldn't we better enable auto-compression-mode temporarily if it is
switched off? I mean, if a site-wide installation (or distribution)
compresses stuff like tutorials and, more importantly, things like
NEWS, then Emacs should load these files on request no matter whether
the user has turned off auto-compression-mode. It would be seen as a
bug if it didn't.

Isn't it more than enough to support distribution-wide .gz compression?
