Agreed...I'm tired of having to pull along a patch to vanilla kernels

so why is there so much concern about merging something which almost
all distros use which impacts almost nothing if you don't enable it???
In general, filesystems and ABI changes are special because stupid
mistakes are eternal. If some device driver has a bug, you can fix it,
reboot and be done with it. Not so with filesystems.
Squashfs is readonly from the kernel. The images are created with
userspace tools.
