Good points overall, but as you state yourself: > Now the main concern for me starting using this scheme is the effect of a > journaling FS on the lifetime on a cheap USB flash disk [...] there are cases where the current scheme of things (read-only base plus overlay living on another medium) is superior. Not "btrfs instead of layering", but "btrfs alternative to layering" or even better "all of them". So I think the trick would be to find an abstract layer of "live" which could be based on multiple underlying mechanisms (snapshotting filesystem, layering, ...).
