Not really a problem with pretests, but with actual releases.  OpenBSD
still supports vax, but xz doesn't build there, so .xz (only) tarballs
would make Emacs harder to build.  On the other hand, last time
I checked, Emacs 24.2 didn't build on OpenBSD/vax, but who knows... :)

That would be nice, thanks.

24.2.93 seems OK so far on i386.
