macOS 10.15 Read Only root

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

If anyone has 30mins or so free time see the wdcc19 talk at

https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/710/

Is interesting...

Its not clear what specifically this means for MP, but for sure things will not be the same as before. We may also not be able to have /opt as before as it may need to be something like /Volumes/blah/blah/opt.... I am not sure.

Also note the comment about 9mins or so in that so far the betas have not made the system read only. That will come in later betas so just beware when testing things something might still work, for now, but will break come the final/next release...
