@tlaurion no, as I'm not the one that can push anything. The squasfs filesystem is upgradeable as it's stores files in an overlay filesystem while the current images uses ext4. Reflashing ext4 results in a total overwrite of all custom modified files and essentially resets your device - so not supported.
As far as I can tell it's possible to modify the build system that there are ext4 and squasfs files, see x86/64. However until that's not the case, it's unsupported :(
