Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster)
nearly every main distro I am aware of has both available. The reason you still see p7zip is because the CLI incompatibilities vs the newer 7z/7zip executables and the general licensing issues. Most users of "old p7zip" are actually using the actively maintained https://github.com/p7zip-project/p7zip which is updated, supporting unix permissions and zstd and so on.

7-zip 22.00 – APFS, Posix TAR, high precision timestamps
Thank you for pointing this out! This is the source of much confusion. Although Arch for example uses https://github.com/jinfeihan57/p7zip which seems to be reasonably maintained?
- Ark and 7-zip

Replace p7zip with upstream 7-Zip
Then you can compile p7zip from source: $ mkdir p7zip-git $ cd p7zip-git $ git clone https://github.com/jinfeihan57/p7zip .
- Don't Use RAR
- TIL there's a fork of the unmaintained p7zip port of 7-Zip
- I can't compress in 7zip with Ark and p7zip

will arch replace p7zip with normal 7-zip?
April 4th was the latest release. Had some commits in May. I think it is active.

Why is 7z so outdated?
I think the point is, the '7z' at 17.04 available in Arch Linux's repo is actually p7zip, the development of which is independent of 7-zip. So comparison of the version number is meaningless (if I am right). Also, p7zip 17.04 is released in April this year, not 2017, according to its release page
