I store my kernel, the 2nd level bootloader and bootenv in such
volumes.  Having the number of used bytes available without
introducing special storage formats simplifies things in the
initial bootloader and when writing images into the volumes.

This is nothing which can not be changed, but static volumes are
not a rare needs imo.
