What's your issue with this?

Yes you lose state, but then on diskless nodes that's my
goal.  Actually this has been a great working config
in an asterisk-based commercial call center for >1 year
with no problems.

We have a custom diskless image boot via NFS, single sign-on
X11, asterisk for VOIP, web interface (firefox), hylafax,
jabberd2 XMPP (intranet IM) etc... almost couldn't be easier.
There are no technical personnel AT ALL on site, the biggest issue
we ever had was someone forgetting to pay the internet bill.

Diskless setups can be GREAT once you get them working, though
admittedly you need to be a very particular kind of environment
for this to make sense.

+1 for efficiency!

Scales for $nothing!  Any hardware welcome!

Just .. YES!
