Yup, good call. We can extend this more to add the nuanced options
once we've got the basics - let's do it incrementally!

We're stuck in a bad situation here I'm afraid; I think the only
sensible way is forward, applying NX patches as soon as they're
ready.
Thoughts?

Suspended animation, A state of bliss
a work trip on the 1st and 2nd, due back home sometime on
the 3rd. I could do a release, but I'd be starting later than
normal. Maybe Andy could start it and I'd catch up with him when I'm
back.
I'm busy on the evening of the 10th, but we can work around that if
needed.
The 17th looks clear and hence
tly a no-op
package on the existing arches already, and I'd be surprised if there
is any use for it on on riscv64.
Cheers,

Argh. btrfs is a total PITA with all the extra options like
subvolumes. To support this everywhere in the installer, we need the
help of people who care about btrfs, use it themselves and understand
all the options. I don't count on any of those, and I'm not sure
