I was intending to merge the LZ4 work onto stable yesterday or today, but, I've received more resistance to the idea of LZ4 in Squashfs than I expected.... I'm not sure that merging LZ4 onto stable now gives the right message, because if it does not go into mainline, it will effectively be experimental or abandoned. In otherwords I don't think it's wise yet to merge LZ4 onto stable, not until at least there's some positive feedback on the mailing list. Thoughts? Maybe some positive feedback? :-) A V2 of the patches will be coming ASAP hopefully with some performance stats.
