This is not a request to change s6-linux-init in any way.
I understand that it must reside on root and I am convinced that this is a =
good solution.
I am doing an experiment here, depending on the outcome of which
I might change my own scripts (also including an init script).
Thats why I am asking whether remounting read-only over umounting
would be feasable.

That was exactly what I was unsure about and the main reason
I came to ask here, thank you!

I am not trying to make it faster, but to cut down on complexity,
I now understand that this specific complexity is really necessary.
