st likely impacted, if there are two zram devices, since most of those VMs use 2G RAM and thus will trigger the anaconda implementation to also create a zram device. For most everyone else doing testing, they'll have more than 2G RAM for their VM or baremetal and are unlikely to run into this. Thanks!

wise would be to have the two swaps. They gain from swap-on-zram at first, and perhaps mostly. Followed by the secondary use of disk based swap. But I'm not opposed to disabling zram-generator in this case. It is a more conservative option and might better square with expectations. Thanks, Chris
