I wonder if some flash/ ssd hardware manufacturer in China will come up with an installable 500mb chip to put the Maemo5 rootfs on, now that the N900 has been released in Hong Kong. They must be having at least some of these problems even with PR 1.2?

It was a good practice when programmer always tried to make their programs efficient in both space and time.
However, after the price down of storage, we are too lazy to make our programs more efficient.
I think it is a good time for developers to recall those hard time when only xxKb is available for programs.

Is there any possible way (maybe a script of some kind?) to block any programs installing to the RootFS and prevent this problem?

If one isn't, you should file a bug report or contact the developer.
