Comment (by ryandesign@…):
Using xz results in a smaller distfile download, and xz and its
dependencies don't currently depend on libtool. However, it's possible one
of them may at some point need to depend on libtool. For example, it was
requested that gettext should depend on libtool in #38878. So maybe it is
safer to stick with a distfile format that does not depend on another
MacPorts port to be extracted. Perhaps a future version of MacPorts will
be bundled with its own copy of the xz utils, as discussed recently on the
mailing lists, and then it wouldn't be a problem.
