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.
