The data volume comes out correctly partitioned, formatted and labelled, and
containing nothing but $RECYCLE.BIN and System Volume Information -- so the
disk work lands and the relocation does not. Two candidates, both cheap to
address together.
CopyProfile is now dropped whenever profilesDirectory is set. Sysprep choosing
a profile to copy into Default while the profile root is being moved is the
likelier of the two, and a profile that persists is worth more than the Audit
Mode customizations that CopyProfile preserves.
FolderLocations is now named in oobeSystem as well as specialize. Which pass
honours it is not something the documentation is crisp about, and saying it
twice costs nothing.
This matters more than it looks: with UWF protecting C: and the profile still
on C:, every profile write lands in the overlay and is discarded on reboot,
which makes the whole VM stateless.
