Fine with me. It becomes hard to buy USB sticks of less than 4 GB these
days. Smaller USB sticks are still available when buying buck devices
for promotional use, but that's not an issue here.

Another front-end to Tails Installer and Tails Persistence Setup, to
backup a Tails stick onto another one, would be a another fancy
improvement. It could:

1. Clone the current Tails onto another one, and create the partitions
   of the recommended sizes.
2. Open the persistent volume on the source device.
3. Create a persistent volume on the destination device.
4. Copy all the files from the source persistence to the destination
   persistence.
