Indeed. On the other hand, if the whole file system were available via USB mount, many common bricking scenarios could be easily corrected.
My preference would be an option where attaching while pressing some button (or combination thereof) would cause the root partition to mount instead. Perhaps also modifying the boot process to detect very early-on if the iLiad is USB attached and said button pressed, it should directly mount the root file system rather than attempt normal startup.
