I would love for this to be implemented in the filesystem level as 
well.  Something like the ext4 immutable bit, but with the ability to 
still make hardlinks would be *very* useful for OSTree.  And anyone 
else that uses hardlinks as a data source.  The vserver people do 
something similiar:
http://linux-vserver.org/util-vserver:Vhashify

At the moment I have a read-only bind mount over /usr, but what I 
really want is to make the individual objects in the object store in 
/ostree/repo/objects be immutable, so even if a user or app navigates 
out to /sysroot they still can't mutate them (or the link targets in 
the visible /usr).
