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.
Clearly you have created a world in your head where what is ultimately build is equivalent to the _first_ _prototype_ of an artifact that is build upon what is labeled a _platform_ . Fair enough, you get to do what you want. But please stop selling what you made up as the one and only incarnation. Yes things will be different, many of us working on the _platform_ don't know for certain what it will look like as such it is rather annoying to see "prophets", like you, stamp things as "this is the way it is" when those working on it do not even know yet. How much have you contributed to the direction, other than spreading fear? Yes there is uncertainty simply because we are not sure yet what comes of it all. What is know is that the current way has many pain points and ALP is an attempt to address a number of those pain points.
