The problem is that means that the Block has to manage when to invalidate the
proxy. If it is done via BlockContext then Phoenix can manage when the
proxies are invalidated and thus force it to invalidate at block shutdown.

partially. I have some other thoughts on doing this and have designed a
fairly comprehensive system - Essentially you mark blocks as needing
filesystem expanded (or at all) - if no blocks need filesystem expanded then
can optionally not expand and can even run it without a home directory if no
file access is needed..

no idea. Still thinking about it.

Thats an idea ... need time to gestate.
