Correct, except when it's related to needed dependencies in Buildroot. But if that's fine for everyone, I'm OK with merging an unconditional host-lz4 dependency. I'll just follow what the consensus is on this matter, since I don't feel like arguing too much on this not-so-important issue. Thanks for the feedback, definitely very useful to have the opinion of others to help take a decision.
