This was your suggestion on the patchset, when it first surfaced, IIRC. But I'm not sure that the explanations are both the same - your suggestion gives the impression that the user would have every feature enabled by this one, which isn't the case. *Future* features will all be enabled by default, but existing ones will stay disabled if they were before. In any case, I feel I may not have been terribly clear - I *want* there to be long-form descriptions of these features. People are working on them and want to "sell" them to users, and this is their chance. We have, comparatively to old preference fields, a much larger amount of space to use for descriptions of features, which (I believe) is part of what the design team intended - see this screenshot[0] of the extension's tab, for example. I'll get in touch with them to see if I can push back on that part of it, but if we end up with longer descriptions, what would your suggestion be?
