No need to worry about not being GUI experts. We would love to work with
you to better understand the things you think are important in the GUI and
how you envision them working, no need to think about exactly how that
translates to a GUI -- we can propose on that end. The important thing is
to understand how you and users think of features and how you use them so
that we can design for that.
For example, when you say 'possibilities' and 'configurable', what are you
referring to? What things do you think would need to be disabled and when?

Ideally the GUI should have a way to detect support and enable and disable

Is this for what you are referring to above with some features being
disabled in the GUI?

Basically the schedule for the boot option implementation surprises me. To

Can you give more clarity on this? Are you saying the ability to do a
single one-time boot for a 'next reboot' is important to the user? If so,
why is it important?

Best,
