Not according to upstream.

I think the main argument is for supporting both compression schemes all
the time if we enable lz4. I don't think it's an issue, as upstream
*will* be forced to do it forever for the same reasons.

I also think lz4 it's a much better choice for the journal as well, so
I'm all the more in favor of enabling lz4.
