Obviously they can't get chmod/chown if / is ro, thus ripping a huge local security hole into the system. You could place /dev on a mfs and copy/unarchive/MAKEDEV there.

If / is the only thingee that is read only, I don't think that buys anything worthwhile. It's one less fsck needed after an unclean shutdown, if nothing else.. This can be quite useful on boxes with unreliable power if you know you don't need to write to the partition. It also helps keep
