"Changes in 4.02" includes: btrfs: print a comprehensive error message if compressed or encrypted files are encountered (neither is currently supported.) I don't see a changelog since saying support for btrfs compressed filesystems was added. Is this something in the works, or unlikely to be added?

Looking at the bugzilla, I'm surprised there's no open feature request bug for this. -- -Gene
