The problem it would solve, is that you can avoid having a persistent
partition alltogether, but still allow users to be able to use PGP
encryption and SSH keys and similiar. By simply determisticly generating
them out of a password that user enters on startup.

What problem would your solution solve?

I often see in nerd communities a strong capacity for problem solving,
but often people find solutions before actually having a problem
defintion. In order to understand how useful such a solution might be,
maybe you could give a bit more background information on your thoughts?

Cheers!
