so, I've seen a few mentions of this but no real discussion.
rave, bash, or question, as you prefer.
in a nutshell, it's possible to modify or preempt init to mount the sd card before mounting the system partition.
this would allow moving /system/app (and other space hogs) to the sd-ext partition, making install space and other possibilities potentially very large.
you want a fast card (class 4 or higher) and you can't remove it while booted (except in recovery.)
regular ics or jb for our device requires the card to boot anyway, and probably to run correctly as well, so it wouldn't be a huge change there.
any thoughts/opinions?
there's a poll, too.
