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.
