To correct myself -- I had said we were thinking of \pdfcompresslevel=2,
but this was wrong, I should have said \pdfobjcompresslevel. As Heiko
stated, the choice is about
a) the current setting
\pdfminorversion=4
\pdfcompresslevel=9
\pdfobjcompresslevel=0
b) the suggested new setting
\pdfminorversion=5
\pdfcompresslevel=9
\pdfobjcompresslevel=2 (recommended setting from manual)
Another thing we could do is provide separate executables/formats
pdflatex-14, etc. Then both options would always be available to all
users.
