Hi, I've updated the Status page and synced the manual pages from btrfs-progs git. The status of various features is split to one more column, Performance. There's a section for each 'mostly OK' status below the table and linked from the note. This will hopefully be more understandable than just

Since zstd was added in btrfs there are people wondering why not lz4 too. The wiki paragraph [1] cites a couple dead links as explanations on why it's not a good idea to have lz4 in btrfs. I think it would be nice if someone can write that information back in the wiki, or for the very least
