Thank you.

It is just extremely unusable because hardly anyone can do it yet.

The Grub support isn't there to boot from it (although I have a patch 
for that) and without being able to boot it no one would ordinarily use 
it. So it's just a chicken and the egg problem here.

As soon as they can get activated, people could start using them, but at 
this point it's almost impossible (it requires adjustments to systemd or 
the initrd that would be manual adjustments at this point).

Thanks :).

Regards.
