That's all well and good, but you can't union mount over NFS, which
apparently some people must do if they can't afford local disk space
(for whatever reason).

Sometimes symlinks are a necessary evil.  I usually avoid them myself,
especially if building a system from scratch.  However, there are
some things which cannot be avoided.  Symlinks in the case of an NFS-
mounted build tree are one of them.

Besides that:  How many union mounts must one then have?  Isn't there
an upper limit to mounted filesystems somewhere?  Or is that just FFS
mounts?
