Description

Zstd is implemented in [.NET 11](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.compression.zstandardencoder?view=net-11.0). It promises savings in the compression speed (uninteresting from a brief benchmark, this is not a bottleneck) and archive size (very interesting because of storage cost and uploads taking nontrivial time in big pipelines).

The tough part is ecosystem adoption.
