We need to come to a decision on this.  We know (3) is not practical, so
it's a choice between one of the other two.  If Ubuntu's happy with
aufs2 then we may as well go with that.  On the other hand, it appears
that unionfs2 is actually headed for inclusion upstream, so if we select
that now then we don't need to change again later.

I say we take off; nuke the site from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.
