Here’s a branch:

https://0xacab.org/cbrownstein/tails/commits/doc/17116-improve-known-issue-persistence-conf

> * instead of reconfiguring the persistent features, persistence.conf.bak can be copied to persistence.conf

I decided not to document this. The already-documented way is simpler.

> * ownership of /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked might need to be reset to root:root

Done.

> * warning: live-additional-software.conf might end up lost without a backup

I’ll probably create a separate ticket for this.

Oops, sorry @cbrownstein for not seeing this one earlier! I probably missed it because it was not part of our view. I added it back to our view (Feature #17247) and my radar now.
