Vic, 150MB? I said about 15MB. I think I can fit a whole system into 150MB. :)

I suppose, but for the root filesystem there's generally too much system-unique stuff in there. Keeping that stuff unique while making the filesystem shareable doesn't warrant the extra work -- as Mark says, / needs no more than about 150MB on most systems. You can't share everything. Filesystems like /usr or /opt can give much greater gains for (arguably) less effort, since they can run out to 2GB or more.
