The code you add needs to be running on target and doesn't work at
rootfs built time. This is bad and adds more complications to
read-only-fs support.

The need to diverge from machine default is the exception and this
could be handled on the image being built, as post rootfs hook or an
specific package with postinst to be run at target boot to setup it,
and not by default.

I see possible use cases for it, I just against it being the default behaviour.
