It's not me I'm suggesting you satisfy, Mike.  

You can make all the hard-edged, insulting retorts you want to.  You
get only one more to me, though, because I'm done making my point: that
the current mania for xz ignores the utility and convenience of gz.  No
amount of architectural conviction on your part changes that, not for
me, and not for anyone else.
