Hi Luigi, I have a stupid question in return: why do we want lzma (7zip) added to u-boot? The linux/uboot world is dominated by gzip. I realize 7zip has advantages over gzip albeit incremental, not revolutionary IIRC. I am not aware of proposals or implementations of kernels compressed with lzma (could well be my ignorance). Adding more code for minimal benefits is a hard sell (we already have plenty of bloat :-O).
