Yes they would - their systems would be crashing constantly due to the fact that neither null or union mounts currently work worth a damn. :-) Seriously, there are a LOT of cool things we could do with a working unionfs (like make /usr/obj go away and/or change significantly) but after more than 2 years, I'm hardly going to hold my breath for it. Too many things need to happen first, like the Lite2 merge, and we haven't got enough people working on that right now to make quick progress. Jordan
