Just on a general note, I did an experiment when I first heard of 7z a while ago. It appears to be better than bzip2 (which is of course better than gzip), so provided the licensing terms are correct and it has/gets a gzip-like interface (and accompanying tar integration-- I think '7' is an open option), it may very well start to take off as the third-gen compression. ;)
