We don't need to do anything of the above. We abide by the council's
decision, because the council defines what goes into an EAPI and what
not.

In any case, since .xz support will be in EAPI 4, it would be a
trivial change to move it to EAPI 3.

I guess it's an one-line change in Portage to include or not include
xz in EAPI 3?
