Owner(s):
  * Peter Robinson <pbrobinson at fedoraproject dot org>


Enable ZRAM for swap on ARMv7 and aarch64 pre generated images to
improve performance and reliability on ARM Single Board Computers such
a the Raspberry Pi.


== Detailed description ==
Current Fedora release artifacts for ARM platforms enable a small
amount of swap by default. While this has generally works OK in the
past it can cause a number of issues primarily wearing out SD cards
due to excess use of wear leveling. ZRAM can mitigate this and provide
more memory for ARM SBCs by compressing part of memory and using it as
a swap space. This provides better performance and improved
reliability across this class of device which overall provides a
better end user experience.


== Scope ==

* Proposal owners:
Package and include zram config and systemd units.

* Other developers:
N/A (does not affect developers)

* Release engineering:
#7607 [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7607]

** List of deliverables:
