I would suggest that you wait slightly more than 5 hours before re-
pinging the list… Please be patient.

Now, for the subject at hand, I suspect most users don't care switching 
away from the default kernel compression scheme, which happens to "just 
work". It also has a minor impact on disk-space and an even smaller 
impact on boot time. I'm not really surprised you aren't getting many 
answers.

Cheers,
