Consider creating (releases) datasets with compression=on

[igalic]

Currently our ZFS Datasets are all created without compression

Perhaps we should consider changing that.
Maybe Releases would be a good candidate to start with.

The current setting is inherited from the parent dataset. Hard-coding a compression mechanism, would take administrators the ability to select their compression.

Perhaps @allanjude can help us answer this question: Is it a good idea to create datasets for jails and releases with compression enabled by default or should we rely on the pool setting for ZFS compression?

This one depends on a lot of factors. For example, if you installed the system with bsdinstall, it sets compress=lz4 on the root of the pool.
