OK. Thanks for thinking of it!

I probably have not made it clear enough, but my main motivation for
pushing this branch in time for 0.16 was Debian bug #688782.
Quoting Gaudenz:

I'm setting the severity to grave as without these changes the
persistence filesystems can not be seen from the live system and
therefore cannot be remounted readonly on shutdown. This leaves
these filesystem in an inconsistent state which may lead to data
corruption.

... but still, I'm unsure this would be worth the risks,
and I absolutely don't mean to be insisting.

Cheers,
