Decision 3 - Name of /lib/live/mount/image
Situation
---------
live-boot mounts the live medium read-only into /lib/live/image (current
sid) resp. to /lib/live/mount/image (current git).
Change
------
the name 'image' is suboptimal to refer to the live medium, not all boot
methods are booted from an image.
alternative names have been suggests, most prominently (in alphabetic
order):
* binary: would be most generic and in line with live-builds own
terminology
* medium: would be the most intuitive for end-users, but doesn't
work with netboot terminology where you don't have a 'fixed' medium.
* system: when being read with the path /lib/live/mount/system, it
is descriptive as it's where the live system (but not the
the live *file*system) is mounted.
the actual live filesystem is mounted at /lib/live/mount/rofs (sid),
resp. /lib/live/mount/rootfs (git), and for which we should find a
better name too (see one of the next mails).
please state your preferences by choosing one of the four (original and
three suggestions) with a short reasoning, or, an entirely 'new' suggestion.
