Accidentally nuking it is my main concern. Using another partition is
likely the answer to this; I used it when I did major Debian upgrades
from one stable to the next. (I have had those upgrades fail).

But grub is such a rat's nest that I worry about getting an
experimental vdev too early in the boot process to be able to avoid it
with grub's boot menu.

Is this a real concern?
