Yes, and once the infrastructure is there it would be easy add new
layers like lokalized captions or POI.

OK, forget my comment then.  I thought tah was the only thing running
on it.

You could try to tunnel it through SSH.  But, that is probably a
nightmare.  There are other network filesystems.  I have no knowledge
about those other than having read about their existence.
