Nah, more of "I NEED THIS FEATURE NOW, JUST DO IT" and now I should test it to find out whether it does anything other than the one thing the boss cared about yesterday.
Coz it does that. It would be a shame if it also did other things. It doesn't obviously misbehave, but it's conditionally modifying fairly low level code in a way that could silently discard information we care about, and the only way we'd find out is when customers complain that they don't have it/
Eventually complain... better to test.
I have an old 8GB USB drive but it's USB2 and slow, especially for running an OS off. I'll reformat my 64GB USB3 drive and use that, then VeraCrypt it back up again afterwards.
