The basic idea is that `/sysroot` is actually an ostree implementation detail, and really nothing else should be writing to it. Fedora CoreOS has worked this way for a long time; we just didn't make the change in ostree by default out of conservatism. > See, that's an unwelcome thing IMO.

Or, TL;DR: Don't panic, no power is being removed and it's very likely that no one will notice. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
