That's unfortunate that ZSTD is out of linux-next. We have several
in-kernel users of ZSTD so we need to keep up with its upstream. In the
past the ZSTD syncs were already in big steps, like from 1.4.10 to
1.5.0. Now we don't even have the 1.5.5 updated merged for like 1.5 year
(since 6.6 times).
There are scripts to prepare the update for kernel, it's quite easy to
get it for linux.git testing. There still needs to be a review because
it's userspace code but it should not be that hard.
Unless Nick wants to continue maintaining it, I am reluctantly
volunteering with hopes that somebody will join and take over it
eventually.
