A bit late, but I just want to say thank you, Chris, for pushing this
forward. TRIM by default is long overdue in Fedora, I think. It has a big
impact on SSDs speed and longevity. I'd love to see mounting with
"discard"
by default, but I understand there are various issues with poor TRIM
implementations. Weekly discard of empty space is the next best alternative.
What does windows do? Is it the equivalent of the discard mount option or
is it more like fstrim?
If it is the former then we should do the same given that most hardware out
there are used that way if that's the case.
