Note that this is only about `/sysroot`, not `/` (root). Thus `/etc` and `var` are still writable in all cases.

Once the new option has been set, you will have to append `rw` to the kernel command line to previous deployments that were created before.

We could also probably make this even more conservative and have it only enabled once all your deployments have the new kernel option. This should avoid the case where you can not bee an older deployment anymore.

The idea is to make the update happen in two steps:
- First add the `rw` kernel arguments,
- Then set up the `sysroot.readonly` option once all previous deployments have the rw option.
