EROFS is considerably more actively developed than SquashFS, and offers more modern file system features that can be utilized in the future.
Reading some through some of the thread it seems the main motivation is consolidation of tooling across the OCI, RHEL, and (through OCI) Flatpak landscape. Could you maybe add that little blurb to the change proposal wiki?
Aside; I'm perhaps a bit conservative in this regard but it seems EROFS offers no direct benefit in the short term (reading some of this thread it actually seems to come with some drawbacks, which the maintainer(s) are trying to address in their spare time?).
Could you expand on the benefits and possible future benefits that make the change necessary?
Then from the image building angle, the Image Builder team is making similar changes for RHEL 10; we also build some Fedora artifacts that use SquashFS (Fedora IoT's Installer, for example). Would you like to include that artifact in this change?
