It's an interesting question. I'm not sure what the upgrade policy is
for vendor presets. Because there's a general expectation of getting
new features upon upgrade, without having to do a clean install, I
think this one should be enabled on upgrades. But I'm not sure how to
make sure F32>F33 upgrade does not reenable if the user has disabled
it; but still enable it with F31>F33 since Fedora supports upgrades
that skip one release. So yeah, I need to figure that out.

As for customizations to fstrim.timer, the original from /usr should
be copied and put into /etc, and customized. That shouldn't be
replaced on an upgrade. The fstrim.timer in /usr of course could be
replaced, like anything else. Same for fstrim.service in case you want
to trim all mounted file systems instead of just fstab.
