Well, that kind of immutability doesn't work for us for several reasons, let's 
say there are times (like special boot modes) when we do need to write 
something to rootfs in a normal way. To reboot then in normal operating mode 
with that rootfs locked up again.

Thus the original question with 'mount --move' --- when we load up RSBAC rule 
that prohibits remounting rootfs original switch_root stops working because of 
'mount --move' failure.

RSBAC allows us to make root a bit less root than usual and we do want that 
additional level of protection. It's not to say that it's the only way we 
protect our system, but that is an additional level for sure.
