   The lharc program is really nice (though a bit slow) and I'd like to see it
   become a more widespread standard.

Because of all the incompatibility problems (and slowness) I'd like to
see lharc simply go away.  Calling it a 'standard' is kind of silly
since it is anything but.

Just my opinion,
