I know that 2 is planned, but I don't know the time frame.

1 in its current form is considered fragile, the l-i-t-d documentation
warns that it's expected to blowup without warning and be unfixable,
it's just a matter of time. Mbriza and I have several ideas how this
could work better, but I also don't know the time frame. A lot depends
on resources.

Also note that both of these l-i-t-d creation methods break media
verification. Media verification is the default option on Lives, but
when media is created either with persistent overlay or
non-destructively, the verification is silently skipped.
