The silent dishonor of the the ro-option is definitly a bug, so the bugfix
should go into the kernel mainline anyway. BUT, for Linux-VServer I think
this is vital, therefore we should have this asap in the next stable
Linux-Vserver release, which will hopefully be before the introduction into
the kernel-mainline.
The other essential feature in the next stable release should be
CoW-link-breaking I think.
