Boost releases are currently packaged four ways.
The problem I see is that CR/NL users still download .zip files twice as often as .7z, and NL users still download about as many .gz packages as bz2.
That seems to be a good argument against the change, while most Linux distro's have bz2, 7z has rather less machine penetration I suspect. I also believe that many commercial *nix distro's don't have bz2 support as standard? John.
