Definitely. While, due to the changing disk format, long-term storage
is not really an option yet, the filesystem can be really useful in
network-booted hybrid clients that have a local disk in an unionfs
compound mount as a COW rw storage device (because RAM *is* limited
after all). Keep up the work.
