But currently the changes of zip and bzip in PHP are a lot higher. For example we could also bundle a PEAR package like Archive_Tar (1) and be done with it. In fact I'd welcome this a lot since a) the code is there and b) it's been proven to work (because PEAR installer itself uses it).
please think of the windows users out there, who cannot handle anything but zip by "default", and start by implementing .zip. we can then move on to gzip/bzip2/tar archives and make it configurable.
