In #2774487: Enable using bz2 for backup files I added an option wich can be added to e.g. /etc/drush/drushrc.php file.
$options['provision_backup_suffix'] = '.tar.bz2';

I think we already have a few more such options which deserve a place like the api hook documentation in files like hosting.api.php.

helmo created an issue. See original summary.

We should probably document this (and other missing options) in the Drush command definitions. I think we just got lazy and added all over the place: 'allow-additional-options' => TRUE,

Thanks I've added it in #2774487-5: Enable using bz2 for backup files

Good enough for now ... but ultimately it would be nice to have some overview page of all the useful settings you could overwrite in a drushrc.php.
