 To give you an idea of what DwarFS is capable of, here's a quick comparison
 of DwarFS and SquashFS on a set of video files with a total size of 39 GiB.
 The twist is that each unique video file has two sibling files with a
-different set of audio streams (I didn't make this up, this is
-[an actual use case](https://github.com/mhx/dwarfs/discussions/63)). So

 are interleaved and identical blocks are typically very far apart, it's

+challenging to make use of that redundancy for compression. SquashFS
 essentially fails to compress the source data at all, whereas DwarFS is
 able to reduce the size by almost a factor of 3, which is close to the
 theoretical maximum:
