I see you wrote the patch for boot-new/modules/shadow.xml. The only 
problem I have with that is that this would be the first instance where 
preseeding is covered in the main text. For the rest preseeding is only 
introduced in general in 4.7.1 and then only in the appendix.

Putting preseeding info in the main text IMO distracts from the normal 
installation procedure.

I do see arguments for creating a separate chapter for preseeding instead 
of having it as a part of a more general appendix. It does deserve a more 
extensive documentation, which currently is hard to do.

Comment please.
