the easily removable/replaceable flash media is probably a more

appliances that only see 1-2 updates/year, but not necessarily for
bleeding edge desktop distributions like Fedora.
Well, there's a huge difference between putting / on NAND and the kernel
on NAND. Assuming just a 10,000-write-cycle durability, updating the
kernel every 3-4 days (100x/year) gives you 100 years of life.
