Nothing left to do (unless testing with the makefile change that I
just pushed reveals problems that I don't see in my chroot). Now we
can distribute xz-ified product files whenever we like, and as a
practical matter they're opaque enough. (Running them through the
product editor removes compression, but only "trusted" users can
do that.)
