It was not my original idea, it was originally proposed here: https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2016-February/010303.html Though I'm considering dropping that portion of the idea because there is a lot of confusion about it. I'm not sure what exactly is desired/requested, or how to find the information needed to detect these partitions properly and being put in a position to defend those decisions is not a place I like being. -- -Austin _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
