Well Marco would be the best to comment on this, but, since I recently
looked around the code, perhaps adding a boot param for persistent
custom name that could be appended to existing names would be an easy
solution. Then the user who wanted live-rw-sid would call the param
with paramName=-sid and then we could document how to name the
partition live-rw-sid.
Thoughts welcome.
