+	The "compress" tests are currently disabled, and may not ever be enabled again.
+
+	Unit testing that our compression implementation produces the exact result saved
+	in test files is very fragile and prone to breakage whenever one of the crates
+	we depend on for compression algorithms updates, be it to improve compression
+	ratio, speed, memory usage, or any other metric.
+
+	Instead, we should focus on the correctness of the implementation, ensuring that
+	any files we know are good from other sources can be decompressed without issues.
+
+	In the future, it is probably a good idea to rewrite these compression tests so
+	that they do not rely on any exact output, but instead call some external program
+	to verify that others can decompress without issues. This is a challenge in and of
+	itself since finding CLI programs for testing compression is near-impossible, but alas.
