Looks very good, thanks!

The squashfs 4.0 filesystem exists for 1 year now, so it's quite new
(and tied to kernel versions) - Aren't we leaving people with older
kernels out in the cold?

Maybe now is the time to get rid of the old version, I don't know - But
3.4 was not marked as deprecated (only recent) in 2010.02.
