Commit 2acb27e298 ("package/lz4: make
program installation optional") make the installation of the lz4
programs optional. To preserve backward compatibility, this commit
added a "default y" to the BR2_PACKAGE_LZ4_PROGS.
While Buildroot definitely tries to preserve backward compatibility in
general, in this case, the backward compatibility would mean that
everbody would by default install those 220 KB of program, which are
most likely not needed for the majority of use cases. Installaing them
by default kind of breaks the Buildroot principle of minimalism.
In this specific case, it is believed that the principle of minimalism
wins over the principle of backward compatibility.

LZ4 is a very fast lossless compression algorithm, providing
|
|
compression speed at 400 MB/s per core, scalable with
|
|
multi-cores CPU. It also features an extremely fast decoder,
|
|
with speed in multiple GB/s per core, typically reaching RAM
|
|
speed limits on multi-core systems.
