Considering that the way to access this so-called 'variables' is via the
filesystem namespace, that would be a horrendous mistake: This would
imply they could be affected 'on the fly' by a command never supposed to
work with them because the filesystem happened to be mounted (or
to be remounted) at the right time while the command was running.

There are really only two options:

1. Don't mount or mount r/o and require user interfaction prior to
working with these variables.

2. Mount r/w and expect people messing around with the fs as superuser
to know what they're doing.
