I had no intention to join this topic. However, out of curiousty, I'd like
to hear your opinion about EROFS. I personally think that's not so bad?

EROFS is designed for the specific goal, and it is proven that it has much
better performance than other compress filesystems even uncompressed
filesystems with proper hardware combinations. And we have an active team
(with paid job) and some other companies (primary in Android scope) have
contacted with me in private about using this as well.

We are doing our best efforts on moving out of staging, and I personally
think the code seems not bad... Can you give me some more hints in advance?

Thank you very much,
Gao Xiang
