Martin's message sounds like persistence is going away because it's buggy. dd would be destructive, cp would be non-destructive. dd is quite reliable since it keeps the ISO layout and bootloader completey intact; whereas with cp the bootloaders will need to be modified, which I still think is fraught with peril. I think the tool should just use dd on the backend and inform the user very strongly *ALL* data on the stick will be destroyed. If the tool is using livecd-iso-to-disk on the backend, that seems to be pretty reliable on x86_64 for both BIOS and UEFI firmware types. But my understanding is livecd-tools is going away in favor of livemedia-creator. So...
