The only way we could make reading a gzipped netCDF4 file is to load the entire file into memory. That's why we didn't support this before. It's also less relevant for netCDF4, because netCDF4 supports in-file compression directly.

With netCDF3, we can use scipy's netcdf reader, which supports Python file objects. But netCDF4-Python does not support Python file objects.

This issue is concerned about supporting paths ending with .gz in remote URLs, which are not local files but rather files exposed via the OpenDAP protocol over a network. If the DAP server can server a file with a .gz extension then xarray should be OK with it, too.
