A small clarification on this: `casper-rw` still seems to work with
current Ubuntu (including current live ISOs for Resolute), but it is
broken in Ubuntu derivatives like Mint, where `casper-rw` no longer
works.

This has obviously also been reported to the Mint folks in
https://github.com/linuxmint/linuxmint/issues/856 as it looks like
regression on their side.

However, the casper documentation for Ubuntu is most definitely out of
date, as it makes zero mention of `writable` being supported as a
persistent label, let alone the recommended one, which, per
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/1.439, appears to be the
preference since Focal.

If `casper-rw` is being deprecated for `writable`, this needs be
mentioned in the official documentation, so that folks and utilities
that create persistent partition can point to official guidelines.
