I personally find it a bit ugly. Moreover, having a file allows to add
contents to explain *why* it is not the root filesystem, while a
directory cannot contain an explanation :)

Since we've added the THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM file, this is
the *first* time we have a new report of people using output/target
directly for NFS mounting. At this point, with a file with such a name,
and the contents of the file explaining how to do NFS mounting, I think
there's not much else we can do except pointing users at this file
which documents why what they are doing cannot work.

Best regards,

Thomas
