Comment(by anonym):

 For the record, Tails has had "[https://tails.boum.org/todo/Two-
 layered_virtualized_system Two-layered virtualized system]" as a wishlist
 item for some years now. Stuff on our wishlist are, according to our
 nomenclature, essentially todo items that have very little hope of being
 implemented by us Tails developers for various reasons. Hence your plan
 seems very fitting to us.

 An additional complexity for the team compared to their project (links,
 btw?) is that we would want this as an optional feature. There must exist
 a fallback mode where Tails would operate as it does now, without any
 virtualization involed, so Tails still can be run on weak hardware. There
 are also various tricky things needed to be solved to make our persistence
 system work with this smoothly. Etc. I think the team should be aware of
 this so they can make an informed decision.
