I'd say that when PHP provides the mechanism for

compression over the wire, there's no reason to duplicate this

compression from the file cache and cache uncompressed on disk.
At the cost of some extra disk space this will improve
performance of the file cache (no CPU cycles for
(un)compression) and simplify the code. This will neatly
separate caching from compression.
The point of compressing the file cache is of course to save disk space.
Since this is a legitimate thing to do, I don't think there's a need to
remove that option.
