Indeed, I removed the transparent proxying parts.

True, but the reason the section exists is that people were constantly
asking me about the functional differences between Liberté and Tails
(i.e., besides the purpose, usecases, etc.). I would just remove it
otherwise.

Well, I don't want to write a lot in that list — the meaning is that
when automounting drives, the mount flags are tightly controlled — see
https://github.com/mkdesu/liberte/blob/master/src/usr/local/sbin/ps-mount.
Tails doesn't have automounting, but drives can be mounted using other
user-friendly means, so it's not an essential difference.

Maybe I misunderstood the purpose of the GSoC-sponsored work on the
Tails greeter. Liberté has all the UI/input languages and relevant
fonts bundled in ready form, no need to run "localedef" or anything
like that. There is a customization dialog for selecting UI language
and timezone (and, recently, keyboard layout). When I added that item,
fonts were still added and removed from
https://tails.boum.org/todo/localization_at_runtime/. Did the
situation change? What does this line mean: “Add an Incognito-like
boot menu to choose the language at runtime, instead of building
per-language images.”?

Liberté supports timezones, but sets the browser timezone to UTC
separately. I.e., pretty much what the “rethink timezones” page talks
about.
