Those would require significant changes to how live works though. Simple
is better. If squashfs has integrity checking it would be perfect :) It
looks like zstd has support for checksums but it doesn't look like
that's supported in any of the tools, or the kernel squashfs module.

Another possibility is for lmc to add a sha256sum of the rootfs image
that can be checked by dracut when booting, or anaconda before
installing.
