/cc @nodejs/build 

matches what I did @ http://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v5.7.0/

@username_3 I called it "Linux PPC LE 64-bit Binary" there, and in this PR, is that an idiomatic way to refer to it?

LGTM. Curious as to why the switch from `.gz.` got `.xz`

`.xz` is much tiny, many wow, compare sizes @ https://nodejs.org/download/release/v5.7.0/, xz compression is available on every modern Linux distro now and you can even use `tar -J` to uncompress them. Still a hassle to do it on OSX hence leaving the darwin binaries and source tarball .gz by default.

Why the source code is on `.tar.gz` yet? For OSX people as well? (That would make sense, just confirming)

"Linux PPC LE 64-bit Binary" sounds ok to me but I'll double check with our power team

Feeback from power team is that ""Linux PPC LE 64-bit Binary" is fine
