David, well, I am no committer, but I noticed that Lucene will no longer care of compressing (I think this was because of the trouble when doing this) and maybe this is the reason why Solr keeps this option no longer available.
Unfortunately, I do not have got any link for it, but I think this was said in some changes.txt (at Nutch, I think).
