the comment is than no longer matching the default setting. You would
have to fix that one, too.

However I am objecting against this patch. The few Option customers that
want the storage to be default can use this option. Why bother the
distro and everybody else with it?

Can we please get a list of people and companies who wants to use the
storage option of these devices. I simply don't see their use cases for
it and why this has to be the default.

Regards

Marcel
