I've had to use LiveCDs (post 9.0) a few times and the amount of hoops that I have to go through in order to get a working system is silly. Plus, it would be nice if it used an mfsroot, like another PR I filed said (it sucks having to wait 3 minutes for the USB CD to probe before I can mountroot over IPMI on Supermicro machines).
