For example, when I fix a typo in the README file then I don't want to show it to users again.
An automatism does not exclude an manual override. That can easily be added to greadme.eclass.
There seems to be a big win-win if we override the compression settingin this case.I tend to disagree. We shouldn't override users' choices unless absolutely necessary.
Just that there is no misunderstanding: you are aware that it is a file of typically just a few lines of text that we are discussing here whether or not it should be compressed?
Seems like overshooting the mark to argue with users' choices in this case. - Flow
