packages compressed with xz

Now that the base system supports xz compression, it should be used as
the default compression for packages.

Files compressed with xz are smaller and decompress faster than those
compressed with bzip2. This can make an installation much quicker,
especially when the complete system is installed or upgraded.

Any reasons against it?
