Uncompressed simple artifact repositories should not be the norm. It happens that some exists because people have not been careful with what they produce. I do believe that the default in the publisher is to create compressed simple repositories, but it worth making sure that this still the case.
As for composite repositories (to answer to Hugues), these are typically small (just reference to others) and are indeed easier to deal with in xml format.

So does anybody have an opinion on how widely used uncompressed repositories
are?
I can't comment on other projects, but we took the defaults
for PDE build in e4 and it looks like we get a content.xml and artifacts.xml,
instead of the jar.
