Well, lxc is already in the 'server-class' software, probably to run a
bunch of containers, themselves in the 'bloatware-class'.
So, the overhead of having gzip is probably insignifiant in the face of
the size of the rest of the system.
So, I'm OK with selecting gzip unconditionally.
However, I would not want to force-select BB_SHOW_OTHERS, even though we
already do it in three locations. Well, damn be it, just select both.
Jonathan, care to fix and respin, please?

Yann E. MORIN.
