At the moment I'm only talking about making the change to /etc. 
All the changes would still be in memory, so we're not really losing any
security, or doing anything different in that sense.

It may be a problem if we start using it for the read-only filesystem on
the CD (i.e.  /usr).  I'm not sure we should do that either.  If a user
wants to manually set that up for themselves, that's their problem.
We can't force people to keep their system secure.
