What exactly is the reason for choosing 

~/config/ and ~/config/non-packaged
over ~/config/packaged and ~/config
Is this something to do with having a RO file tree with RW overlays or 
something of that nature? Actually, it would seem more logical to me to have a 
normal BFS mounted RW with the linux equivalent of loop mounts for the packages 
a la DSL packages or Puppylinux environment addons (they used to package the 
toolchain as a squashfs I imagine they still do). 
From what I understood of the package format it does work as loop mounts with 
symlinks automatically generated in the normal file tree to the binaries in the 
package?

And of course I tried that first, and it dodn't work for a lot of stuff.
(Didn't investigate why.)
