The real problem is I don't think anyone is really paying attention to
cleancache.

Dan, something that might be useful to drive interest would be a
demonstration of this improves performance on, say, a netbook using
cleancache and zram, and how it is better than just using zram
directly as a swap device.  With maybe some numbers?  That might get
some interest from the community desktop distributions...
