I wonder why people like to update their embedded systems by taking card out, completely overwriting it with new data and putting card back in. No wonder that it's slow, complex & heedlessly wears out your flash. If I do this in my BBB I would get myself pissed very soon because of the effort required. I never bothered to netboot too, because I wanted to test it in insecure network conditions. I mean, I don't remember a case where I needed to take HDD to another machine for upgrade. The issue where it's not practical to compile something locally is completely unrelated with this, too.
