I followed the instructions in
contribute/release_process/persistence-setup, and that branch wasn't
modified (i.e. it's still at commit 0bc2057). How can I fix this?

I'm gonna try for #A now:
todo/persistence_preset_-_NM_connections has been implemented in
feature/persistent_NM_connections. IMHO it's now in a good enough shape
to be shipped in Tails 0.14, but there are some issues (see todo page):
* violation of Single Responsibility Principle: Adding a 'gconf'
persistence option would have to go into upstream live-boot,
and IMHO this is way too Tails-specific for such inclusion. An
alternative would be to put the code from commit 1d3cae2 in
tails-greeter into our custom live-persist script. Since
live-persist is the glue that fixes all the quirks we have with
live-boot's vanilla persistence, this seems like a perfect fit.
This is done in commits 77c3261 and 4db38e9.
* "Connect automatically" checkbox gets unchecked on each boot: IMHO
this bug is good :). Hence we can ignore this for now and just
mention it as a known issue (commit 0f7f652).
I also wrote the user documentation (commit 269b672).
If the rest of you agree that all is good now, please review and merge
this branch into devel so it can be included in Tails 0.14.
Cheers!
