Yes, it's completely reasonable to not do it. It might seem like a big
change on its own, but Btrfs has had native compression for 10+ years,
and at least three years for most all of the workloads at Facebook. So
it's quite safe. It does, however, touch parts in Anaconda.

So yeah, we definitely do not have to do it. But if we are, I guess my
point is, we need to get serious and act quick like a bunny. This
isn't gonna be some late addition.
