The part ", but implement support for fs_encryption" is confusing.  It would be
clearer with that deleted, since encryption is covered by the next paragraph.

When I wrote the last paragraph, I think I had in mind "each possible
combination of features".  Now it's changing in meaning to "each possible
combination of operations".  Maybe replace it with that to make it clearer?
