This needs to be reworded a bit.

After this patch, nothing prevents modifying the xattrs after all of

Embedded ternary operator should be replaced with normal C syntax.

Replace "It" with "Writing other xattrs".   Writing other xattrs is
safe for portable signatures, as portable signatures are immutable and

Replace "It" with what is safe.
