The feature you quoted is usefull for devices where /etc/passwd is readonly, for android devices. Here is what I've posted on asuswrt forum "Entware-3x is new version of Entware optimized for 3.x and 4.x linux kernels. It is based on Entware-ng but can be used only on firmwares with 3.x and 4.x linux kernels. Entware-3x has more packages compared to Entware-ng because some packages cannot be compiled for old kernels, some Entware-3x packages have higher versions for the same reason.
Entware-3x is built for mips, mipsel, armv5, armv7, aarch64, x64 platforms."
Some Entware-3x binaries are faster than Entware-ng. Compilnig modern packages for Entware-ng has become a big headache because of 2.6 kernel.
