http://www.rpm.org/ticket/84 has nothing to do with payload support, it's only support for extracting lzma/xz compressed archives.
Here's the patch that added both proper lzma_alone & xz payload support http://lists.rpm.org/pipermail/rpm-maint/2009-March/00237... that rpm.org ended up adopting (where they didn't orginally even plan on supporting the legacy lzma_alone format that others were and are still using).

Yes, Got the ticket number wrong. LZMA was legacy and author had informed folks that there is a newer and stable format in the pipeline and not to rely on LZMA. Hence the lack of support for it in rpm.org.

yes, but they now support both lzma_alone (legacy) and xz payload, as was contributed by me after all.. ;)
