Thanks for working on this. I think feature-freeze wise this is something that we should get in. It's cool work and it'd be something neat to have in 19.10.

I've got some questions first though. (If the MIR is firmly taken off the table for 19.10, then these questions can be skipped since you will have to positively opt in in that case.)

Is the design of the option something that has been presented to the design team? While not a particular issue as long as the feature is opt-in, as soon as it is this option will be presented to everybody - I'd like to know that it's been reviewed design-wise and signed off.

What guarantees are you looking to make on stability / data-loss? Let's say we discover a crash in the installer in some circumstances with this option enabled in the week before release - is this something we would be fixing urgently or do we say that 'anything goes' if you have picked the option? Same question if something turns out to be wrong post-install for a number of people.

Probably goes without saying, but the MR to ubiquity itself will need to be reviewed too. :-)
