The problem is that "experienced users" != "autoconnect", though I
understand it's your case.

A user interface cannot be optimized for all user profiles at the same
time. Prior to 4.20, Tails was optimized for people who don't experience
network censorship and who don't care about hiding that they are
connecting to Tor. In 4.20, we tried to give a more similar easy of use
to the different profiles.

As often when doing such big changes, it's hard to find the right
balance on the first release. Now that 4.20 is out, I'll be interested
in seeing how much more cumbersome it became for people like you and
adjust if needed.

I feel like it's too early to take decisions on this, we'll gather more
feedback in the coming weeks, and meanwhile refrain from going into
lengthy design discussions here.
