Hu? How is this a step to a "linux system administrators only OS"? Most users would not even notice as long as the graphical configuration tools recognize this and have the ability to write back changes to the underlying root partition. As it is, it will most likely only be used by embedded people and enthusiasts.
OverlayFS (the Kernel feature this functionality is relying on) is just a layering system. OpenWrt for example layers a writable root partition over a read-only root partition, this allows easy "reset to defaults" or "reboot in recovery mode", as you always have a default root partition you can fallback to.

Ibm developers use this effectively to prevent the Linux desktop success. They write badly designed, slow, resource hog and buggy software intentionally.
