Since zstd was added in btrfs there are people wondering why not lz4 too.
The wiki paragraph [1] cites a couple dead links as explanations on why
it's not a good idea to have lz4 in btrfs.
I think it would be nice if someone can write that information back in
the wiki, or for the very least write them in a mailing list message
that can be linked there.

Yeah that's the response. And the reason for not adding lz4 still
stands, there's no measurable benefit over lzo under the implementation
constraints we have in btrfs now.

Regarding dead links, there's no replacement for the web interface of
gmane.org, so there are now many left.
