I wonder what an openSUSE based on ALP/immutable will be. Are they going to get rid of RPM?
IMO, rpm is far too foundational to be replaced. If SUSE were to do that, it might as well become yet another fork/spin of Debian, but with BTRFS and snapshotting by default.
From my POV, ALP will remain considered vaporware at least through the end of this coming summer. Leap will continue for at least 2 more Thanksgivings.
