Maybe, I had already thought about that some time ago. On the other
hand I have felt that it's weird if upstreams should do such things
solely because package managers in some source-based distros use
upstreams as their primary source of packages (I don't count Guix into
this category). Over half of my bandwidth quota is used for serving old
xz versions and that somehow that doesn't feel right, but perhaps it's
just me being weird.
5.0.4.tar.gz and .bz2 are up again on tukaani.org so at least Guix
shouldn't have issues now because of me.
Thanks! :-)
