This was obsoleted, but then resurrected later...

From wikikpedia
[...]
In 2013, Linux maintainers indicated that cramfs was made obsolete by
squashfs,[1] but the file system got rehabilitated in 2017 for use in
low-memory devices where using squashfs may not be viable.
[...]

And also the guix kernel has support for it...
So why not ?
