Nobody disagreed, so this is now a formal review&merge request.
Now is more than time to voice your opinion if you disagree with us
going the bilibop way.

feature/bilibop has been in experimental for two weeks.
I've just updated the ticket (todo/make_system_disk_read-only) to make

Candidate for 0.19, please merge into devel (at the APT level too).

FTR, quidame commits to do so :)
