Gzippping this file and the tarballs would be a very welcome
change, yes. The main issue is to make sure all the expected clients
can decompress those files.
IOW we need to add support for that to `package.el`.
The sooner the better.
AFAIK it's pretty easy to add support to Apache to auto-generate the
`.gz` files on the fly. I tried setting up the server to do the
opposite (automatically serving the uncompressed version of the file
when the file name without `.gz` is requested) but couldn't get it
to work.
