I'm not sure how this could be explained in less a way so a user could make an informed decision without using thousands of words (with a thousand possibilities to misunderstand). So, yeah, either we enable this by default in Tails, or we completely ignore it.

So, I say: let's do it! If you want to speed things up, please create a ticket about this, and assign it to me. Mega bonus points if it contains a patch against config/chroot_local-includes/etc/skel/.electrum/config. :)
