P.S. that downside also may translate to more difficult testing and
development. With spin development I've been able to make a live cd
and then run it live or run it live/install it within a VM. With a
formula you have to have an already-installed image in a VM and then
make the formula available for install within it. (Advantage though,
compiling a formula *must* be quicker than rebuilding a live image.)
