I'm not sure that's an entirely fair interpretation of what I said. My point was that, while it may not be broken today, it might not be a good idea to rely for correctness on it always being true.
I take that point. We have a choice of fixing it today or whenever to support multiple compression techniques. We don't even know how that will look like and whether we will be able to look at compressed data and tell whether two values are compressed by exact same way.
