Just had a look a these, thank you. ISTM that the arguments in favour of compressing are more concrete right now: in #631985 there is the example of debugging KDE requiring more than 10G of disc space. (Nine years later perhaps it is more.) On the other hand, in #922744, there is only an unsubstantiated reference to tooling support. I'm going to write to the submitter of #922744 asking for more info. > Why punt it to you? > =================== > > [...] I think the reasons you give are all reasonable. -- Sean Whitton
