On: Now using Zstandard instead of xz for package compression

[Squithrilve]

mkinitcpio is being replaced with dracut so zstd won't probably happen.

Well, that is a bit on a 50/50 coinflip currently. There has been intentions but we need some collaboration from upstream to make this happen.

It's not set in stone currently.

Man page says zstd is an option on dracut

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/dracut.conf.5.html

The kernel doesn't support booting zstd compressed initramfs' yet, but you can very well use zstd compression with dracut and mkinitcpio
