<div><font color="#330033"><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">The same would go for any "work" you'd want to do in such a configuration. You'd always be trying to work out the problem of where /usr/bin/{something}, /sbin/{blah}, /etc/{stuff} actually lives. Or, you'd be forever chasing down symlinks that you need to create, so that an app that insists on putting his PID file into /var/run actually could write his PID file there, and so on and so forth.</font></font></font></div>
