So the question is clarified from "Should the files be compressed on Windows
also?" to "What should the behavior be on Windows and (what should the behavior
be on) Posix (for Emacs Dev distributions)?".

Helper questions could be "Why is compression the default on Posix?" and "Why is
the _default_ Posix behavior important in deciding whether Emacs Dev compresses
or not for its distribution?"
