 <h1>The fix: raise the victory flag</h1>
 
 <p>
-  Filler text - need a graphic here showing multiple combinations:
+  QEMU 4.0 added <code>BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK</code> to detect if
+  zeroing is fast, and automatically utilizes it during 'qemu-img
+  convert':
+  <ul>
+    <li>No support for flag: avoid pre-zeroing
+    <li>Flag supported and succeeds (for O(1) implementation):
+      pre-zeroing is a win
+    <li>Flag supported but fails (for O(n) implementation): no penalty
+      from pre-zeroing
+  </ul>
 
-  <br>[WZ] = WRITE_ZEROES, normal
-  <br>[FZ+] = WRITE_ZEROES, successful with FAST_ZERO flag
-  <br>[FZ-] = WRITE_ZEROES, fails with FAST_ZERO flag
-  <br>[W...] = WRITE for data
