So... it's actually a reasonable objection over bzip2? I mean, you explained why it does not work with bzip2.

I think their argument is sound and it makes using bzip2 less useful in certain situations. I was once saved in resolving a problem we had when I figured out that concatening gzipped files just works out of the box. If not, it would have meant a bit more code, lots of additional testing, etc.
