Another feature of the dual root partition is that it will allow you to switch 
between software versions using "request system software rollback" without 
reinstalling the image.  Don't forget in production to keep both the partitions 
in sync with "request system snapshot slice"

You can check to see what versions are installed on each partition with "show 
system snapshot media internal"

Yes the resilient dual root partition was implemented to deal with this issue 
on the EX.  I believe this is pretty similar to what the branch SRX do today.

You'll probably be thanking them when your switch loses power* and when
you restore it, you find your bootable filesystem isn't corrupted.

At least I'm _hoping_ that's what this 4th partition is designed to fix.
