This caused a regression in PackageManager and possibly elsewhere; so it is not suitable for the stable-4.11 branch. To clarify: this feature was not in GAP 4.11.0, we just backported it there. This PR adjusts that backport: we retain the improved to reading .gz files, but not the new behavior for automatically compression every file whose name ends with .gz.
