People that don't care, well they don't care. Maybe AXIPFS would be the close alternative. One question on the use-case profiling and subsequent image rebuild: What if the use-case did not cover all cases of XIP use? If a compressed page is attempted to be executed, will the filesystem fall back to decompression to RAM and execution from RAM, or will this result in a faulty system? The design choices look real good. Congrats on the achievement. Regards, -- Leon
