While not very popular, ECT [1] is (still?) the best solution in this space and has been my go-to tool for this purpose.

I use ect on a monthly basis, at least. Especially for png files. It's pretty great!
Nice, interesting to see if it helps docx much.
APKs need to be zipaligned, I don't see that mentioned.

Is there any point for (new) .bz2 archives in the era of Zstd?
Debian? Did they discover it yet?
Tooling ?
It takes years for bzip2 be in every Linux Distro, and we _still_ doing gzip.
LZMA / xz tool are start to get more support, but they are nowhere near universal.
No idea when how long zstd will need.
