g) remove compression entirely

Is the idea that compression can be handled by another format (xz,
probably) and from the OpenPGP perspective it's just "binary"?  I

I guess so.

However I see a problem with the removal of compression: Almost all keys
have preferences for compression and most messages are using
compression.  Thus all implementations will need to keep on supporting
de-compression which is actually the more complicated part.
