some options have default that are best described in prose, such as
defaults that depend on the system stateVersion, defaults that are
derivations specific to the surrounding context, or those where the
expression is much longer and harder to understand than a simple text
snippet.
The parentheses prevent the `continue` line from working by running the
enclosed in a subshell -- I noticed that ZFS would start asking me for
my password to encrypted child datasets, even though they were not
specified in `requestEncryptionCredentials`. The following logs would
also be present in the import unit's journal:

If the machine is powered off when the zpool-trim timer is supposed to
trigger (usually around midnight) then the timer will be skipped
outright in favor of the next instance.
For desktop systems which are usually powered off at this time, zpool
trimming will never be run which can degrade SSD performance.
By marking the timer as `Persistent = yes` we ensure that it will run at
the first possible opportunity after the trigger date is reached.
This change introduces more fine-grained requestEncryptionCredentials.
While previously when requestEncryptionCredentials = true, the
credentials for all imported pools and all datasets in these imported
pools were requested, it is now possible to select exactly the pools and
datasets for which credentials should be requested.
It is still possible to set requestEncryptionCredentials = true, which
continues to act as a wildcard for all pools and datasets, so the change
is backwards compatible.
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
Introduces a trim timer similar to the fstrim service.
According to zpool(8) for consumer hardware periodic manual TRIM
is preferred over automatic TRIM that ZFS implements.
The period of one week is based on recommendations of fstrim.
