I've previously complained about the output of .tar format changing, but I
think it's too much to expect the *compressed* output to remain the same. In
environments where CPU time is more expensive than bandwidth, it's entirely
normal to expect the administrator to arbitrarily adjust compression levels
without any warning, or, on the contrary, pre-generate and cache
zopfli-compressed archives.
