Down-sides, there'd no longer be a live-cd/dvd as a 'demo' system. You
could only try out the formula on an installed system. It looks though
like people are already suggesting overlaying a formula somehow to
create traditional live images (presumably still with the advantages
of being able to tweak configuration).
P.S. that downside also may translate to more difficult testing and
development. With spin development I've been able to make a live cd
and then run it live or run it live/install it within a VM. With a
formula you have to have an already-installed image in a VM and then
make the formula available for install within it. (Advantage though,
compiling a formula *must* be quicker than rebuilding a live image.)
Agreed to both your downsides. The goal of the spin was to have as much
configured 'out of the box' in a live environment firstly then as the
installed user.
I can't see this as being a replacement but perhaps it could be used in
this context as well (post install).
