YUM repositories gain support for more and more compression formats. That naturally means enhancing createrepo_c (a repository producer), and librepo (a repository consumer). The repository works here as a transport mechanism. Therefore it does not make sense to duplicate the compression support in libmodulemd. Especially if the main application is package manager which uses librepo for retrieving YAML documents. These applications can use librepo for decompressing the documents before passing them into libmodulemd. Compression support in libmodulemd needs magic (file) and rpm libraries. Especially libmagic carry dozen-megabyte large file format database. It is desired to remove compression support from libmodulemd. As a result, this patch marks compression support deprecated. <fedora-modularity#606>
