This would be very beneficial for everyone from programmers to normal end user's that will take the worry out of installing and experimenting in general knowing if anything goes wrong it can be reversed by a simple restore flash when a loop situation occurs for any reason
I think an application capable of doing this would go a long long way for the N900 for many reasons.

Well you can probably use dd to create full image like on pc. However, you'll need to boot(phone) into second linux system to restore it.
