In public discussions about the backdoor recently discovered in xz-utils, I
have noticed that some people are considering a possible switch to lzip but
are worried that the same social engineering techniques that made possible
the insertion of the backdoor in xz might also be used against lzip. I would
like to explain why I think this is not the case.

Maybe it's a time to advert your product. Most products are popular thanks to advertising, not because they are better. And unpopular products die, or cease to exist. Simple as that.
