What about ext2 compression? It's been around for ages, it's stable,
and I can't do kernel development without it (I only have a laptop).

This has come up before, and it seems a popular feature.

The latest version of ext2 compression (which plays nicely with other
future ext2 extensions) is only a few weeks old at this point, and isn't
quite stable yet. When it gets stable, we can have a negotiation about
whether it goes into 2.2, but with the feature fereze starting, my
guess is that it won't quite make it...
