Sure -- If someone says "do it", I'll submit a patch to remove the
special-casing for zisofs :-)  It already makes me uncomfortable that I
test the squashfs case but not zisofs.

It could be helpful if people test squashfs vs zisofs and see if there's
any time when squashfs doesn't generate faster/smaller/"better" CD
images; then it would be a no-brainer to remove the less performant
filesystem.
