Some time ago, the hint about UnionFS package management was released. What about adding some king of package management to the book? It's an important part of secure system. With UnionFS-based one we could learn users to check packages about to be installed whether they don't replace anything important or install anything setuid. It also makes it possible to (almost) completely rebuild and reinstall system while running. It is even possible to rebuild e.g. openssl, then include it in the overlay and rebuild some applications against it (without actually merging it to the system) and then merge it all at once in a few minutes.
