That looks good, but not for F13 release. Maybe an update or for F14.
squashfs-tools should be there, but we also need 2.6.34 (which I can't
see happening for release) and a small change to livecd-creator.
For the games spin there is about a 10% savings when using lzma as compared
to zlib.
I am tracking the progress of this at:

There's a good chance it won't really be advertised as a feature, but I made
a feature proposal page for it just in case.
