Yeah - I do wonder the benefits are really larger than the risks, given the performance/efficiency issues & unclear timeline for those issues to be resolved.
Do we really need to rush this now instead of waiting for the issues to be resolved first & then switching to an objectively better FS ? Otherwise there is the risk a non trivial amount of time will be spent integration the new solution & there is a chance we will end up with a sub-par system in the end. > > > Then from the image building angle, the Image Builder team is making > similar changes for RHEL 10; we also build some Fedora artifacts that > use SquashFS (Fedora IoT's Installer, for example).
