Considering how controversial the change has been already,?? I think it 
would make a lot of sense to make one change at a time. If someone were 
to have a bad experience with the new default, it would be unclear 
whether that's because of the filesystem itself or because of the 
options we chose to deploy the filesystem with. If we make those changes 
separately, and the compression change goes badly, the changes would 
still be clearly independent.

Changing one thing at a time is responsible change management in any 
case, especially when we're talking about defaults.

Thanks,

Marty
