If you haven't read the new summary write-up on the benefits of the
/user feature that I think you would benefit from reading it.

Well, ... politliness prohibits to further comment on this.
Only so far: Fedora is the first Linux to implement this. I am not aware
about any other having done so. Other major Linux distros currently are
discussing this topic (sometimes controversially and heated), but
haven't decided yet.
We will see, whether they'll adopt it, or whether this "feature" will
remain a "crazy RH idea" and/or be considered a "bad joke".
We will see, whether users and developers will welcome it, or whether
they will regard this "feature" to be yet another demonstration of
Fedora users being the RH "guinea pigs".
If you have read it, then I fear you either don't fully understand or
do not value the long term benefits associated with the filesystem
snapshotting nor the utility of having read-only shared vendor
supplied /usr across many guest instances.
Read-only /usr would have always been possible, if there would have been
willingness to implement it and if people had cared about it.
If those stated benefits are achievable in practise, I think carrying
around a few symlinks in / till the heat death of the universe is a
Agreed. This estimate is quite realistic, but I would not bet, Fedora
will have enough user and contributors to survive the next couple of
years to experience the heat death of universe.
