I agree with this addition, but I'm afraid I'm at least uncertain
about all the other ones made here, where ...

... like e.g. here, it's only the prompt that's conditional. IOW
like with the respective uses of UNSUPPORTED in some of the Arm
changes in patch 1, especially when the option's default is "yes"
it's not the feature that is an expert one, but its turning off
is considered an expert change. Which I don't think should be
expressed this way.
