Sure, maybe some of the unquirked systems only need a subset of the ones
Matthew selected ... but that's fine as they will resume even if there's
unused quirks. I cannot understand why you are hesitant to change
default behavior for unquirked machines. Let's back up a bit: do you
disagree with the premise that the vast majority of machines will need
quirks to resume?
