Content 
https://docs.python.org/3/download.html says a) tar.bz2 can be read by the tar program, which I presume is true also of tar.xz.  So there is no issue of *needing* two separate programs.  It also claims "The .tar.bz2 archives provide the best compression and fastest download times."  This only need be true, if it is, for the doc formats, as opposed to python code.  In the absence of at least 2 requests from *nix consumers of the archives, why even think of changing?
