So the first build has BTRFS and BTRFS is linked to transactional updates. Did it say anywhere that support for your beloved ext4 filesystem will be removed, did it say that a package manager will be removed?
Yes.
Surely the ext4 thing is only for / and related OS related partitions? Some other data disk must surely be able to be ext4. AFAIK, the basic system that is installed "the ALP way" is an image somehow cloned to the hard disk. It is a RO filesystem done in btrfs, so "/" is btrfs, no way out of this. Updates and additions/modifications go as snapshots to this initial image.
You can surely add other partitions, but root will remain btrfs. No idea how other packages can be added, or updates. -- -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
