None of these filesystems work with an unpatched kernel. None of these
are particularly fast or stable. None of these keep up well with current
Linux development.

The new and shiny overlayfs has still not been merged into 3.2 and union
mounts development has stalled for a long time.

It is 2012 now and the whole situation still sucks. We switched to
(block-based) device mapper snapshots in archiso, which is stable, but
far from optimal. This does not completely replace unioning and is
likely not a good solution to use with schroot.
