I already talked to segfault about this but I think it's amazing and super important!

Right now, an essential concept in the redesign that I worked on last week is to help people enable
the Persistent Storage features that they need right when they need it:

https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/blueprints/-/wikis/Persistent-Storage-redesign#just-in-time-help

It would prevent people from:

- Restarting yet again
- Loosing data because they didn't realize that it could be saved to the Persistent Storage before
creating one or activating the corresponding feature (eg. Wi-Fi password time and time again in my
usability tests).

Bash for the win!</joke> I trust you to have good reasons to choose bash over Python here :)
