Besides the fact that he is the sole author, I know that he sells customized versions of the system to commercial machine manufacturers.

After an exchange of correspondence, JRO and I are clear on the subject of this "Undocumented use" of the auFS file system.
He also suggested a variation on the plan I have so far written up about using auFS as a filter.
Both variations have their specific use case(s).
JRO's variation would make building software targeted at: /usr/local/* (the common "add-on" tree in *nix) and then moving it to somewhere else (say: /mnt/us/*) quick and easy.
Hmm... After an exchange between the author and an end-user, I guess auFS filtering has left the "Undocumented use" catagory.
