I agree with the others on this thread, this really looks like nothing
we should support upstream. /etc is the place for configuration. If you
decide to mount it read-only (which is absolutely valid), then
configuration is ready-only, and that's the exactly the effect that
mounting /etc read-only should have, so playing games with redirecting
this sounds misleading.
