The compression on precopy is a complete different beast:
- It is *VERY* buggy (no races fixed there)
- It is *VERY* inneficient
   copy page to thread
   thread compress page in a different buffer
   go back to main thread
   copy page to migration stream

   And we have to reset the compression dictionaries over each page, so
   we don't get the benefits of compression.

So I can't wait the day that we can remove it.

So could you maybe write a patch to add it to the docs/about/deprecated.rst file?
