I wonder if you can change CONFIG_COMPRESSED_ROM_STREAM to 0: no compress 1: NRV2B 2: LZMA 3: ...
I tested this idea against several users and they really hated it.
weird. What were their reasons?
Giving it a glimpse it seems rather natural if you have a choice between X algorithms. So we prefer "wider" configuration instead of "deeper" configuration?
What makes "deeper configuration" really unlovable is that the current configuration tool can not represent the above.
What makes it adorable is that the dependencies between the config variables can not or are not resolved during configuration time now, but during run time.
So a configuration mistake does not lead to a configuration error, but to a compile error.
I know "go ahead and fix it" is the deserved answer, but this is something we want to discuss in more detail for v3
