What is the subject of "IMO this sounds rather experimental"?  Are you
referring to the following?

Thus I've submitted an MR that does things in the KISS way using
partman-basicfilesystems.  I'm also ok with this work going into a point
release when users of older hardware report regressions such as
increased power usage due to continuous TRIM (Fedora is still working on
this).

I've added one user-requested feature (compress=lzo), and the remainder
of my work is pretty much annotated warnings for mount options that
users cargo-cult from reddit and various HOWTOs.  I would also be happy
to write more involved release notes if necessary.

Or are you referring to translator work?  If most translators are burned
out and don't see the value of my proposed changes at this time then
I'll understand and accept this.  P.S. I can try a French translation if
it would help! :)

Cheers,
Nicholas
