That depends on what do you mean by "incremental"? A single toasted datum can only have one compression type, because we only update them all in one anyway. But different datums can be compressed differently. > Another question is whether we'd actually want to include the code in > core directly, or use system libraries (and if some packagers might > decide to disable that, for whatever reason). I'd personally say we should have an included version, and a --with-system-... flag that uses the system one. Greetings, Andres Freund
