Well, this is where things got to last time around:

http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/lurker/message/20110722.200731.32f090d9.en.html

and then everything stopped.  No further feedback, nothing.  So I've
been totally ignoring XZ stuff because I've been believing that the
issue hasn't been fixed.

It seems that it has now been fixed, back in July.  Nice to have been
told about that development, etc.

So yes, as the problem has been resolved, we can now move forward on
it.  I'm not sure it's -rc material though, so I'll queue it for the
next merge window.  We've waited six months already since the 'fix'
went in, so plainly another three won't hurt one bit.
