I'm in favor of this change unless someone can present a use case indicating a
risk for serious user discomfort.

Changing the default to use '--compressed' by default might also improve life
for a bunch of users since it might save bandwidth and can reduce transfer
waits (since it'll need to transfer less data to get the job done).

It could also be noted that --no-compressed would then be necessary to use in
order to *not* ask for a compressed (and auto-decompress) resource.

I can't think of any middle-way approach for this change that would make the
transition easier. It seems to be rather binary.
