Certainly distri isn’t suitable for all environments, but I think the general concept can be very resource-efficient.
A few thoughts inline:
> Sometimes you want a single filesystem, sometimes you want multiple filesystems
distri presents packages in a single file system (mounted at /ro). The fact that there are many images underneath remains an implementation detail to the user.
> sometimes you don't have the resources to even load something like FUSE.
I suppose in those environments you just can’t have package management, then, given how light-weight FUSE is.

Supporting more than one packaging model seems like an enormous task to me. I think distributions are better off not blowing up their test matrix like that :)
