I don't think anyone is suggesting that. It's just that the patch was
sent to the ML, apparently for some sort of code review. That's all I
(we?) are suggesting: there is room for improvement <here>. I can
think of a handful of cases where switching to "one true compression
algorithm" will bite us in the ass, and thus think it needs to be more
flexible. I'm not suggesting "I want to do crazy shit with
compression"
