What about something like:
;; The global fontconfig cache directory can sometimes contain stale
;; entries, possibly referencing fonts that have been GC’d, so mount
;; it read-only.
I think that’s a correct summary? Perhaps we could link to past
discussions if we have one.
Otherwise LGTM, thank you!
