IIRC it's planned - however I'm not sure it a user should be able to
turn on compression, especially when it's directly turned off by sys
admin.
perhaps if compression turned/forced off by the admin then it
shouldn't be alowed, but enabling compression on a filesystem that
just had it off by default should be allowed but of course this
complicates implementation. They could create a system wide config
file disallowing compression/encryption etc.
