Apologies all round to anyone who feels offended. What I meant to say
is compression is not that difficult if you design the filesystem from
the outset with compression in mind - retro fitting compression to an
existing filesystem, however, can be very difficult (especially
compressed metadata), and that's why it's not a good idea.
The concept that all well designed filesystems should easily support
compression is wrong, and I didn't intend to imply that.
