There's a potential problem here - each module is a squashfs filesystem.
What would be the overhead moving from several mounted squashfs
filesystems to several hundred?

I think the best way would be to have a server that we can upload
"packages" to in .tgz format (a bit like a Slackware package), and when
maintenance on that module is finished, we just untar 'em and make the
module at the end, then moving the finished module into the main tree.

Single package modules should be kept for only specialist software that
extends Dyne:Bolic.

Whaddya think?
