Great! Then I'll first everything from .tar.gz + .tar.bz2 to .tar.bz2 +
.tar.xz as transition. Then before GNOME 3.2 I'd think it is best to
switch to .tar.xz only.

So timeline:
~1 month: don't generate .tar.gz, instead generate .tar.xz
~4 months: don't generate .tar.bz2 (after the last 3.0.x GNOME stable release)

Above is not official. Just my thoughts atm. I need to wait for further
real-life usage of the ftpadmin script, 3.0, new schedule, wider
announcement, etc.
