The point of persistence is to have a nice fat distro on a cute 3" dvd, combined 
with a nice cute 1G usb stick, and be able to use the combination, as a 
physically portable linux system.

The persistent usb holds _your home directory_.  Do you want to be recomposing 
your livedvd _during every boot in which the contents of your home directory 
change_ ?
