Ok.

I notice that it now asks about ACL's, and says

	If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N

which is all fine, but last I saw some (most?) distributions use POSIX 
ACL's for things like desktop access permissions to /dev/audio etc.

I don't particularly have to like it, but it does mean that if you don't 
do POSIX ACL's, and have btrfs as your root filesystem, you'll quite 
likely not get sound when logging in.

I dunno. I haven't actually yet tried to convert my laptop, so I just 
reacted to this thanks to the new question..
