Yes. But if they haven't setup the rescue with your plan, they'd be out
of luck. That's why I'd like a small, targeted environment that's well
defined that we can boot to. It will be without bells and whistles, but
will be enough to recover. There will be an editor, commands to interact
with the network, the storage stack, etc. But we'll need to be careful
what else is in there. And it will be different choices from /rescue
(though maybe rescue needs a rethink for several items, like including ipf).
So I'd strongly suggest that we walk before we can run. Let's get
something with a small, well-defined remit working, and we can iterate
from there.

I definitely agree with the last paragraph. There have been so many
cases where interesting ideas never came to be realized (or took many
years to do so) simply because the discussion got out of hand and the
original simple idea was killed by heavy arguments of excessive engineering.
Start with a simple implementation that requires minimal effort, please.
Kind regards
