I figured I should ping this, since I don't know that it was properly shown to the debian-kernel mailing list.

I saw that as well. However, zswap has gone through a lot of changes since then: it is enabled by default on Arch at least, and possibly more distributions (I couldn't find the kernel config file for RedHat). The feature is still maintained, and appears to be bug-free. I'm having a hard time seeing the disadvantage of enabling it.
