Sorry about that. I didn't realize where the tests were, since there's
no "make test" at top-level.

While I agree in general, in this case the user-visible change was
done around a year ago, and I noticed only now when I switched to
using Emacs27. The change from a year ago was displaying the amount of
free space in kilobytes, which is almost unusable.
I added a custom var with a reasonable default that any user can
easily change. Very uncontroversial change, IMO.

OK.

OK. I've pushed the requested changes.
