The reason to do it now is that the next cycle is an LTS cycle which we
almost certainly wouldn't enable such a thing.  As zram-config just adds
an upstart job, it's easy enough to pull out of the default install if
it appears to be problematic.  I'd certainly like to see the proposal
(unless we can just read the lubuntu thread and start a similar
discussion here).  If it's experimental, then I agree that we shouldn't
be enabling it in the default install.  If it's just additional, but
stable, then it's something that can be considered.  We have 1 month
until feature freeze, so anything that we think might be worthy for the
LTS that we can throw in now *and stabilize by feature freeze*, we
should consider doing so to get extended testing on it (read: an extra 6
months).
