The reasoning stated is that EROFS is more actively developed than SquashFS. Does that mean that SquashFS is feature incomplete, or that it's more stable?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It probably means that more people are hacking on it and getting their PRs accepted than are working on SquashFS. What constitutes software that is still alive these days is pretty badly skewed toward "if you don't release four x.y.z releases every day your software is dead" these days.
Does this mean that it will become PG 16 after this change?
PG-13 should be enough as it's only suggestive and not explicit in nature.
